What people are saying

I feel hope again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

 "I have used this journal for a week now. Absolutely love it. I knew about cognitive therapy and jounaling because I have battled depression all my life. As a senior citizen I was having trouble motivating myself to try "yet again" to help myself. I took a chance on this journal. It's fun and easy. Short sessions with daily email support. I like going to my therapist but this type of therapy has always helped me more. I am already feeling some better. I see a reason to get better and a future ahead worth having. Thank you."

The best journal, seriously!! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

 "I am already a week into this journal, and i love it a ton!! First off its such a high quality journal, from the hard cover to the format and beautiful images inside. Very easy to navigate and not overwhelming!! Every day you're asked a different question which really gets your mind thinking and reflecting. As someone who has gone through a lot emotionally in the past year, and doesn't like to speak to others about it all, this is a perfect way to let out and channel my built up emotions. I look forward to the end of my day when i can relax and reflect on the new page of the day. Im super excited to see how the next 8 weeks of this 9 week adventure turn out!! Love this journal so much already, definitely would recommend to anyone!!"

The rebirth

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

 "I’ve always struggled with self-love and acceptance. Therapy has always been on my mind, and although I have no excuses, I’ve never spent time looking into it.  I am not saying this has supplemented therapy for me, but ever since I’ve started journaling in the Self-love notebook, I’ve noticed a profound difference in my daily moods, reactions, and perspective. It’s only been a week, and I feel super happy with the resources I’ve been able to use in my day to day. I wake up with the intention to show myself more love and understanding. Thank you, Switch Research, for helping me embark on this journey! I am so excited to learn more about myself and watch myself grow. I can’t wait to gift the freebie to my friend and start the other journals."
