A GUIDED JOURNAL · REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION

Tools for Healing

Find your voice, your heart, and your footing again.

Nine chapters and 36 journaling questions for women healing from emotional and narcissistic abuse. Rooted in faith, and written to be lived with slowly.

You're not imagining it.

Maybe you've spent years being told your memory is faulty, that you're too sensitive, that the real problem is how you react. Maybe Scripture was handed to you as a reason to stay small. And somewhere along the way, you stopped trusting your own heart.

Now something is waking up. You're seeing the pattern for what it is, and you want more than survival. You want yourself back.

This journal was made for that moment.

This journal is for you if…

You're awakening to emotional abuse, coercive control, or spiritual bypassing in your marriage.
You're staying for now, separating, or already out, and you need steady footing wherever you are.
You want tools you can use today, not just more information.
You love God, and you're ready to ask honest questions about what you were taught.

Sample Question From Chapter Four: “Withdrawal is part of healing. What is one thing you can do the next time loneliness or longing hits, instead of reaching for the ‘fix’? Who could you call?”

A word from Sharmen

For years I've sat with women who were just beginning to makes sense of what had been happening to them. They didn't need another lecture. They needed plain words, a next step, and permission to trust themselves again. That's what these tools are. This edition keeps them and adds room for you to write your way back to yourself. Go slowly. There are no wrong answers here. You are not too much, and you are not alone.
