Write Through Journals
Hi,
I'm Jason, the creator of Write Through Journals. I'd like to give you a bit of an insight into how I came up with my shop name and the ideology of my journals.
Early in January 2021 Somebody said to me, Jason “if you can’t talk about it, write it down”.
They then asked me to look out of the window and tell them what I could see.
On reflection it was quite a simplistic approach to the complexities of my mental health diagnoses that are associated with Complex PTSD.
However, this approach led me on to my recovery and reflection journey and the four key elements of how I created the title, Write Through Journals
~ 2021 Recovery ~
I didn’t talk and I didn’t see anything through the window.
Write - When I wrote something for someone, I gave them information. I asked them questions and expressed my feelings. I wrote about it because I couldn’t talk about it.
Through - I wanted to see, hear, and feel things through the window. The curtain between me and the things I couldn’t see, hear, or feel was my mental health.
Journals - My journals were an account of what I couldn’t talk about.
~ 2025 Reflection, I reversed my thought process ~
Journals, my journals are an account of what I choose to remember, write and talk about.
Through - I see through physiological and psychological barriers and focus my attention on what my senses and emotions are telling me.
Write - I write through the moments. I write about what I see, what I hear, what I smell, what I taste, what I feel and how I feel during each moment. I write because I want to remember and talk about it.
I opened the curtain. I talk, I write and I see, I hear and feel everything through the window. My stored memories start with my sensory memory; I choose what I move to my short-term memory and then transfer into my long-term memory.
Following an earlier than expected retirement of over two decades in the UK Fire and Rescue service. The background in creating Write Through Journals has given me the opportunity to hopefully share my journey.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Regards
Jason
