Guidelines for Free Write Journal

As you work to connect concepts and ideas you may choose not to use an outline for organizing your feelings and thoughts. Instead, you may prefer to write a collection of
" Dear ____________" letters. These letters can utilize whatever type of format and/or expression you see fit as long as they portray your ongoing thoughts and feelings related to supervision.

I will write responses to your ideas in the letters. At times, I may also ask you to expand on ideas or to clarify issues which you have raised. Please know that you can also ask the same of me.
