Journaling for Dudes (and Everyone)

Over the course of like a million years, men have been conditioned to suppress emotion. Whatever the reason, now we see men who express and communicate emotion in a healthy way as effeminate or less-manly. Broadly speaking, it’s taboo to show that you’re sad or happy in any other context than sports, death (someone else’s), marriage (your own), or the birth of a child (either way).

Why I find journalling difficult

Healing isn’t linear, and learning what works for you and what doesn’t is a key part in everyone’s journey. If journalling is something that helps you thats great! If you find it difficult like me, it might be worth considering something else until you find what sticks.
