Why Therapists Recommend The Self-Love Journal
Did you know that the Self-Love Journal was actually created with therapists in mind?
It’s amazing how the journal has become such a loved tool to use at home, but it wasn’t always the plan…
Here at Switch, we wanted to design a tool that psychologists and therapists could use in their consultations.
We wanted to make something that packed in all of their amazing tools and techniques that would be useful both in a therapist office, and at home, too.
That’s why we created it with the help of experts and professionals.
All of its daily prompts are based on strategies and techniques used every day in therapist practices around the world.
And once we’d designed it, therapists everywhere were only too eager to snap them up and use them with patients!
They carefully work through the journal exploring the prompts in greater detail.
Together, they think about all of the tools we offer:
- Gratitude
- Mindfulness
- Reflection
- Growth mindsets
- Reframing negative thoughts
- Meditation
- Setting intentions
- Self-love
Then, the therapist asks their patient to fill in the journal at home.
Once they come back for their next session, they go through the responses together to think a little more about the reasoning and emotion behind each piece of writing.
It sounds like incredible work to us!
We’re thrilled to hear that therapists are using them, just as we intended. Here’s what a couple of them had to say...
"I ordered this to review it for use with therapy clients. I have found it well researched and beautifully presented. It has been helpful for me and I would love to use it in a group with others! Order this purposeful journal!"
"In my practice, the most common pattern that derails my clients is low self-esteem. How wonderful to have a resource to recommend to them! Thank you for your exceptional product. I highly recommend it!"
But we’re also delighted that the Self-Love Journal has become a much-loved tool in the home.
With hundreds of five-star reviews, we’ve heard from people around the world who have used the journal on their own and seen groundbreaking results.
They feel:
- More confident
- More connected with others
- Kinder to themselves
- A part of something bigger
- More positive and optimistic
- Compassionate towards themselves and others
All from the comfort of their own home! Here’s what some of them had to say…
"This journal is incredibly well crafted and I can already feel the difference it is making. A wonderful commitment to self love. If you're thinking about it, I encourage you to take this opportunity through 90 days to change something that will ripple into all areas of life, within and without."
"I'm excited about the next day every morning! Short but meaningful lessons that don't overwhelm. Never seems like a chore but more like an adventure with myself. Very focused and meaningful lessons that are leading me in such a good direction. I am learning so much. Thank you."
"I've struggled with mental health for a long time. My therapist recommended journaling as a way to process my emotions but I just couldn't ever think of what to write or how to start. I found this Self-Love journal through TikTok and honestly it has really been helpful as a way to guide my journaling and give me things to think about. Not to mention it's a gorgeous and high quality journal."
"I love using this journal. I learned a Cognitive Behavioral Technique and suite of tools and it changed my life! This book mirrors some of what I knew, while adding more to my repertoire of resources for dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions."
So whether you choose to use the Self-Love Journal at home or with your therapist, we are confident that you’ll become a kinder, more caring advocate for yourself.
