How Long Does It Take?

The Difference between a Certified Instructor and a Journal Therapist
You do not need to be a psychotherapist or helping professional to become certified as a JTTS Instructor. People from all walks of life are successfully teaching Journal to the Self workshops in their own communities. However, even if you are already trained and licensed as a psychotherapist, this program does NOT prepare you to be, or call yourself, a journal therapist. You will complete this training as a Certified Instructor of the Journal to the Self workshop.
