"Why, oh why,

Prize-winning author
(Cleveland,

“There’s a big
difference between writing ‘Dear Diary, I saw him today…’ and
getting things off your chest that you’d rather not say out
loud,” says Dr. Kominars. “Compelling evidence supports the
journal-writing process as a legitimate integrative therapy.”
In his
journal-writing book, author Kominars shows how and why this
practice has such healing powers. How does he know? He’s been
journaling for more than fifty years and has recovered from a
life-threatening health issue and survived other crises as
well. Journal writing works for him, and he demonstrates how
it can work for others, too.
