EASY TO USE: Each day has a specific prompt, supportive description, and tips for how to navigate the question. The workbook follows a four-week process, which Rachel outlines in the beginning of the book.

EVIDENCE-BASED & TRAUMA-INFORMED: Many of the prompts in this workbook are therapeutic tools from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Adlerian Psychology, Jungian Psychology, and more. The questions are written with a trauma-informed lens, meaning there are gentle reminders and invitations to go slow, check-in with your body, or hold off on certain prompts if there is any trauma around the topic of the question.
