HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALSThroughout Rae's professional life, she has maintained a strong interest in supporting her patients and clients' efforts in developing their own sense of personal responsibility and self-empowerment. Journaling, both writing and art work (including collage), has been a powerful ally. Based on her personal and professional experiences with the healing and empowering process of journaling, Rae has turned much of her professional focus toward the specialized field of journaling instruction for health and wellness.
She often refers to the extensive research studies conducted by Dr. James Pennebaker, Professor and Chair in the Department of Psychology, the University of Texas in Austin. Dr. Pennebaker's research validates that expressive writing has a profound positive impact on the journaler's physical and emotional health. Two of his books, Writing to Heal ... A Guided Journal for Recovering from Trauma and Emotional Upheaval and Opening Up ... the Healing Power of Expressing Emotions, have been standards in the field of journal therapy for years.
