What is Balanced Mind's emotional journal?
The emotional journal lets you record your thoughts and feelings daily. In the premium version, AI analyzes the text and identifies the emotions present, helping you build emotional awareness over time.
Balanced Mind's emotional journal is a recording and reflection tool available in the app's "Journal" section. How it works:
Free-form writing: write down what you are feeling, thinking, or going through, with no rigid structure. The goal is to externalize thoughts and emotions.
AI analysis (Premium): after each entry, the AI assistant analyzes the text, identifies the emotions present, offers reflection on patterns, and suggests strategies when relevant.
History and patterns: over time, the journal builds a record that helps identify recurring triggers, mood patterns, and progress, especially useful to bring to sessions with a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Why journaling helps: externalizing thoughts reduces cognitive and emotional load. Identifying and naming emotions (alexithymia is common in autism and ADHD) is a skill that develops with practice. Journaling is a widely recommended CBT tool.
