A Guided Journal

The Small Leavings Journal. A companion to coming back to yourself.

A working journal in seven sections, eighty-four prompts, for the woman in the middle of the work. Not a self-help book. A slow, quiet practice of returning to the self you left, one page at a time.

The seven sections

Each section opens with a short essay and twelve prompts. The sections build on each other. You cannot stay if you cannot read your body; you cannot read your body if you have never met your parts.

  • · Noticing the Leavings. Identifying the pattern of self-abandonment
  • · Meeting Your Parts. The internal architecture of who is actually inside you
  • · Reading Your Body. Trusting the record your body has been keeping
  • · Reckoning with Your Patterns. Looking at the loop you have been inside
  • · Choosing to Stay. The daily work of not abandoning yourself
  • · Visioning from the Self That Stayed. What becomes possible from a regulated body
  • · Building What Comes Next. Translating vision into daily aligned movement

A note before you begin

"You cannot build the life you want from a self that is still leaving. You cannot stay if you cannot read your body. You cannot read your body if you have never met your parts. The sections build on each other."
