The Inner Child Journal is a 90-day guided journal designed to heal and re-parent your Inner Child. The prompts in this journal will connect you to your Inner Child, facilitate meaningful healing, and teach you to cultivate your wise Inner Parent so that you can find peace and wholeness in your daily life.About Inner Child HealingThe Inner Child is an archetype of our adolescent self. It is a representation of the part of ourselves that either flourished and grew in a developmentally supportive environment or adapted to environments that were unsupportive or harmful.To heal our Inner Child, we are asked to first reckon with the wounds we sustained in childhood. This can be a painful, lonely process. We are then charged with the responsibility of re-parenting those wounds, so that we can integrate fully as adults and have the wisdom, courage, and wherewithal to engage with our adult lives with compassion, awareness, and connection.What this Journal Will Cultivate: This journal aims to use the framework of the Inner Child as a scaffolding from which we can rebuild and find mental stability and emotional equilibrium. Using prompts that stem from therapeutic interventions like DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, Adlerian therapy, Rogerian therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy, this journal offers you the tools you need to be in the driver's seat of healing your Inner Child. The Inner Child is a concept that flows from multiple psychological theories of counseling and development, including the work of Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby, Piaget, Erik Erikson, Carl Jung, and others.With newer research that broadens our perspective of childhood development, trauma, and the brain-body connection (specifically the works of Bessel Van der Kolk, Mark Wolynn, and Gabor Mate), we can begin to integrate the somatic, cognitive, and emotional into a multidimensional approach when healing our Inner Child.WHAT'S INSIDE: Description of the Inner Child and Inner ParentExplanation of Inner Child healing, Intergenerational trauma, and Re-Parenting90 pages of journaling with specific prompts and categoriesMindfulness, affirmations, and needs identificationInner Child & Inner Parent dialogues and letters to your inner childDaily entries with specific prompts and instructions to help you dive deepOver 50 unique questions that are recycled dailyExample of a daily journal for comprehensionIntention-setting and frequent reflections so you can chart your growthTips and tricks for if you get stuckExtra pages for notes, reflection, and discoveryNeeds Wheel to help you identify your daily needs*Please note this journal is not intended to be a replacement for therapy, nor is it meant to be used as a diagnostic tool.

Where the River Flows is an honest, poetic, heartbreaking account of how my divorce catapulted me down a yearlong obsession to find the answer to the burning question I had every single day after my husband asked me for a divorce: "Why?"Was it my inability to show him love like he'd told me? Was it an old attachment wound, still unhealed and bubbling at the surface? Was it the sexual trauma I'd never resolved and carried into our marriage? Was it my very real and frequent urge to end my life?Or was it him? Was it his lack of understanding for my mental illness? His lost patience for me as I tirelessly worked through old wounds in therapy? Stress from the yearlong motorcycle trip of his dreams that I vowed to go on, and did just after our wedding day?As I spiraled myself around this question and fell deeper and deeper into a depression, as the binges became more intense and the purges returned for the first time in years, as the urges to die grew stronger and when I curled myself in a ball on the shower floor, banging my fists against my belly like I'd first done seventeen years before, I started to believe that what my husband said to me in our last few days together might be true: "It's like there are three people in our marriage. You, me, and your Eating Disorder. And sometimes I think you love her more than me."If you or someone you know has struggled with an Eating Disorder, sexual or developmental trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal thinking, divorce, grief, then it is my hope you will find yourself and your loved ones in the pages of this memoir.You are not alone.
