Yes, I did mention it before although I didn't remember which thread it was in. I am a bit of a journaling geek and have used books by Kathleen Adams, Tristine Rainier, Deena Metzger, Ira Progoff (thumbs down on his stuff for me), and Christina Baldwin among many others.
My personal top three for growth through writing are (in order):
1. Writing the Mind Alive: The Proprioceptive Method for Finding Your Authentic Voice by Linda Tritcher-Metcalf and Toby Simon
2. The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron--Doing the "morning pages" (three long hand pages of writing per day)
3. Journal to the Self by Kathleen Adams
I took a proprioceptive writing class several years before the "Writing the Mind Alive" book came out. It is a powerful method of learning more about yourself. The authors come across as a bit self-impressed (this is true in person also) but their approach is fantastic.
