Write
A place to put it down.
Sometimes the thing needs to come out of your head before you can look at it. This is a blank page and a few prompts, for anyone who wants one. You do not need to be a client here.
Nothing you write is saved. Not on our website, not on our servers, not on this device. What you type exists only in this browser tab. Close it and it is gone.
We cannot read it. Nobody can. If you want to keep something, download it before you leave.
Prompt
Write whatever is there. No one is reading it.
If it helps
A few things worth knowing.
There is no right way
Lists count. Half sentences count. Writing the same thing eleven times counts. Nobody is marking it.
Five minutes is plenty
Most of the benefit shows up early. You do not have to fill the page or reach a conclusion.
You can stop
If writing about something is making it worse rather than lighter, stop. That is information, not failure, and it is worth mentioning to someone.
This is not a record
Nothing here goes into a file, and nothing here is treatment. If you want to bring something you wrote into a session, that is entirely your choice.
If you are in crisis, writing is not the fastest way to get help. Call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, at any hour. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger. Casa Tendo can be reached at 213-441-8801 during opening hours.
