My Pocket Therapist Journal: Dating & Relationships is a seven-week guided journal by Atlanta psychotherapist Dr. Thomas A. Vance. The singles and couples he works with kept asking what to write when he suggested journaling, so he wrote the prompts himself. He drew on his own dating life too. In the opening letter he says the journal is "inspired by my many heartbreaks, disappointments, joyous moments, and visions of future love."
Every entry has a mood tracker, a reflection, a journal prompt and an aftercare idea for what to do once you close the book, and ends with a note from Dr. Vance. The very first note reads, "I often journal late at night when I'm all in my feelings, instead of sending the 'what up bighead' text."
The seven weeks
1. Self-Knowledge
2. Addressing Past Hurts
3. Self-Worth or Self-Value
4. Staying Grounded
5. Protect Your Peace
6. Define Dating
7. Continuing the Journey
Use it if you're dating or getting over someone. If you're in a relationship you plan to keep, it's for you too. It also makes a good gift for the friend who keeps calling you about the same person.
It's a reflective journal, and in Dr. Vance's words, it "is not a substitute for therapy but will help you identify areas that need special attention in your healing process."
