If you understand peer counseling writing can be one of your therapists

 Why is this?

Because if you understand the basic rules of Peer Counseling then you wind up counseling yourself through your own writings often. This is what I have found especially after I was taught the techniques of peer counseling with a group of men in the early 2000s.

How is peer counseling relevant?

When you write something you are one person. But, when you read what you have written a day or a week or a month or a year or longer you are a different person. So, the next person reading what you wrote before is the therapist analyzing the problems and potential solutions.

So, in this way you start becoming your own therapist I have found.

However, it is also true that in my early 20s I studied to be a psychologist and my parents were Mystical Christian ministers and taught me counseling skills to help people as a child especially from 6 to 12 years old.

So, all of these experiences help me to counsel myself in this way and this might also help you directly or indirectly in various different ways too.
