Journaling Is a Powerful Tool to Improve Mental Health

Lately I have noticed that as I'm writing my mind automatically gets clearer about how I am feeling and why, it's like magic, I can find the relationships between things that happened, my feelings and my thoughts and I can easily process them and the best part is that when I realize (as I'm writing) suddenly I'm not upset anymore, I don't have any racing intruding thoughts and my mind is crystal clear and calmed.

This is amazing! Journaling has been maybe the only effective way I've found to process my emotions 😌 I really appreciate your suggestions on how to do it.

Hi, I'm Emma McAdam

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, and I love helping people change. I know that understanding mental health can be confusing and stressful. I also know that there’s hope! Your brain is wired to change, and deep healing is possible. My mission is to walk with people through that process.

I make mental health skills more accessible through YouTube videos and online courses. Therapy in a Nutshell is built around the idea that small and simple steps can turn into massive change and growth. I don’t just help people get feeling better; I help people get better at feeling.

I’ve been working in the field of change and growth since 2004. I got my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Utah State University, and I’m currently licensed in the state of Utah. I’ve worked in settings like juvenile corrections, wilderness therapy programs, residential treatment centers, and outpatient therapy.
