[RECORDING STARTS]

Here, like this. You can just speak into it, talk about your day, rant about anything that might be troubling you… I know you don’t always feel comfortable telling me everything, but it’s good to get your thoughts out.

And how often am I supposed to do this?

As often as you feel like it. The goal is to work up to daily entries, but new habits take time, so to start, just do it when you want.

Are you going to be checking this?

I would like to make sure you’re doing it, yes. It’s important to express your thoughts, and this is a very good way to work on that. But I won’t listen to any of them. I want you to feel free to say whatever you’d like.

...

I would like you to make at least one entry. You won’t know if it’s helpful or not until you try it.

Fine. Now can you stop recording this?
