Do therapists recommend journaling?

Many therapists recommend to their patients to start journaling, or to continue journaling if it was a practice they had in the past. This is, of course, if the therapist and the patient feel it would benefit the patient and their therapy.

Journaling may not be for everyone, but during therapy, a therapist can understand if journaling is worth trying, and if so, they can also give guidelines and items to focus on while journaling.
