Emoji Journal is a parts based, conversation style journaling app. This means that instead of being tied down to the old fashion "mono" style of journaling, you can now easily express yourself from the different perspectives that live within all of us. How many times have you felt as if part of you wants to do or say one thing, while another part of you wants to do the complete opposite? Give voice to those thoughts, feelings and expressions as never before. In addition to allowing for this dynamic form of journaling, Emoji Journal also allows you to customize those expressions visually by adding an image of any sort, as well as customizing the font, colors and more. Useful for: * Internal Family System (IFS) * General parts work * Meditation * Exploring conflicting/differing thoughts and feelings * Exercising the skill of listening to what you really think and feel * Learning to respond to yourself kindly and empathetically Key Features: * Conversation style journaling * Completely customizable message boxes * Passcode option * Over 10,000 emojis to choose from * 50 handwriting fonts to choose from * Use photos from your personal library as an avatar/emoji * No data collection * No Ads ---- UNLIMITED PROFILES Without making any in-app purchases you will have full access to Emoji Journal's current features.

Many will find the limit of 4 satisfactory. ---- Terms and Conditions https://emojijournal.com/terms/ Privacy Policy https://emojijournal.com/privacy-policy/
