Synopsis

A companion volume to the well-received Daughter Detox: Recovering from an Unloving Mother and Reclaiming Your life, this 200-page book will support your efforts at healing and recovery through unique and specially crafted exercises and prompted journal pages designed to clarify your thinking and enable you to see how your childhood experiences affect you in the here and now. The Daughter Detox Guided Journal and Workbook will permit you to explore your thoughts and feelings without feeling the pressure that a traditional journal with its blank pages often induces. The Guided Journal and Workbook follows the same seven stages of healing as Daughter Detox but in a much more active and participatory manner; this is a book in which reading is less important than activity. In each of the sections of the Workbook—DISCOVER, DISCERN, DISTINGUISH, DISARM, RECLAIM, REDIRECT, RECOVER—you will encounter a progressive series of exercises, each of which will push you closer to understanding by making the unconscious conscious and motivate you to start changing the behaviors that are getting in the way of your happiness and fulfillment. Among the skills the exercises and journal entries are meant to bolster and grow are: · Seeing yourself with clarity, and not as others have defined you · Listening and paying attention to your inner thoughts · Strengthening and expanding your emotional intelligence · Becoming better at articulating your needs in a relationship · Choosing relationships that work for you and enrich your life · Using visualization to calm yourself in times of stress · Getting in touch with the signals your body is sending you · Curbing your reactivity and managing your emotions productively
