Journaling helped me make so many breakthroughs! I have to admit I started off making a journal thinking it needed to be perfect (😂 classic) which oftentimes kept me from writing things down with the emotion that I needed to have. But after I decided no one would see my journal it was very liberating and I wrote many things that brought me shame too. It was life changing. I have carpal tunnel now so I haven’t really been able to do it lol but I should find an alternative. Voice-to-text doesn’t feel the same hahah
capoeiristachik1 voice to text definitely feels odd. I've just started a new form of journaling which involves writing down the invasive thoughts that come to me during meditation.
I’ve been admiring the art form too! I just looked that one up and it seems to be the specific pottery art form which I associated with it. I’ve been calling it Wabi Sabi, which is the more general art form admiring imperfections.
so true - you can only heal (shame/guilt/sadness/anger) when it is WITNESSED; compassionately and without judgment (the reason you can't "solve it" on your own) but journalling is good to get it out of you mind and not ruminating / spinning your wheels
therapy is most helpful when you dispense with thinking, you need to tune in to your feelings/emotions, my therapist does a lot of body work, which tunes you in to your body, quietens the thoughts and brings your frontal-cortex back online so that after you feel the (difficult) emotions you can reflect and process/make sense. I see a lot of benefit in Dick Schwartz' Internal Family Systems (IFS) - it is really good especially if you have a lot of childhood trauma, or you became adultized/parentaized (took on responsibility for things you shouldn't have) too early.
Ross Geography you're very fortunate to have a therapist with the skill to tap into your feelings and bypass our natural defense mechanisms. It is an excellent technique.
I have Pure-O OCD and recently diagnosed with OCPD. I take a low dose Brentillix (Vortioxetine) for focus and it also is an SSRI (so less depressive thoughts or they lift more readily); it's also damped down the OCD a bit - less frequent and less distressing as I know that those thoughts have no meaning (see excellent School of Life video 'What is Pure OCD?'); I find if I had too much to drink, OCD intrusive thoughts tends to rear their head the day or so after. ruclips.net/video/Q9yKaI0vLJs/видео.html

Kintsugi, the Japanese art you were talking about. Beautiful.
Karine Roumache thank you for putting the name of the artform in the comments. I absolutely love it.

@@capoeiristachik1 well, Wabi Sabi is a much more fun name.
