And with a timer, I'm putting a capsule on this.

So you get 10 minutes and you're going to do all of your worries.

And then when that timer goes off, mine is always a duck.

And so it quacks at me.

I'm like, all right, sweet.

The duck is quacking and you are done, right?

This is not the kind of like journaling experience that you're gonna save and like reread tomorrow.

Please don't do that to yourself.

That's very mean.

This is intended to be like word, emotion, thought, vomit onto a piece of paper.

Yes, you can do it by typing.

And because your brain processes things much more thoroughly when you are handwriting, it's much more powerful of a intervention, if you will.

If you handwrite, right, because you're processing at multiple layers of brain interaction with this experience.

And so that helps really get through all of those things.

Now, what you can do after the duck quacks or the timer goes off is you can kind of skim that and you may be like, hmm.

My friend told me that she was having a really hard time in her relationship right now.

And then we got distracted and we never came back to it.

I bet you she really wanted to talk about that, but she was also really scared.

And so she didn't bring it back up.

And I messed up.
