HOW IT WORKS  audio 

The Online Journal Therapy Programme is designed to support your journey of self-discovery and personal growth.  We explore journal therapy techniques and work with topics using the expressive writing process.

After you book and make payment on Yoco we proceed as follows:

1. You will receive a personal invitation on Google Chat.  (you require a Gmail account to access the programme)
2. I will send a link to the 30-minute journal therapy orientation audio which you will listen to in your own time (normally sent two days before the journey starts).
3. You will then be added to the Google Chat Group on the date of your event by 9 am.
4. I will send a link to the instruction audio which explains everything you need to know about the Introduction Journey (or relevant follow-up journey).
5. The first day is only for introductions, technical support and logistics.
6. The journeys are 7 or 11 days and you work in your own time each day. 
7. Both require only 4 days of writing for 15-30 minutes per day - no more than two hours in an entire journey.
8. In the 11-day journeys, we have reflection days which provide more time to reflect on the prompt.
9. You receive coaching and support throughout the process in the Google Chat group.
10. We end each process with a Google Meet audio/video call (depending on the group's needs) to debrief and receive input and guidance.

Other journeys follow the same process with minor changes.
