The mental health community often highlights the positive aspects of journaling, celebrating its role in improving our mental well-being. But journaling can take a dark turn if we do it incorrectly.

Is journaling worth it? Is journaling good for you? Is journaling always beneficial? Can it have a darker impact on your mental health? We’ll dive into the psychology behind these issues, revealing how journaling can sometimes turn into a source of distress rather than relief and how we can prevent and overcome that. So today, let's talk about the dark side of journaling.

Disclaimer: We are not saying that journaling is bad or that you should avoid it altogether. Instead, we're exploring the potential dark side of journaling, especially when it's not done in a healthy way. Our goal is to highlight the importance of being aware of these issues so you can make the most of your journaling practice and avoid potential pitfalls.
