Anchor
your Anchor journal
Notice the pattern. Understand the story. Rewrite the ending.
This journal centers on a single idea: you can’t change what you haven’t noticed, and you can’t rewrite a story you don’t yet understand. The framework established in our workbook, 3 Phases to Break the Cycle Without Expecting Her To Change, is built on the idea that through pattern recognition, insight-building, and openness to trying something new, people can change behavioral patterns that often feel out of their control. We call this process The Reauthoring Arc. Notice the pattern, understand the story, and you’ll have a much easier time rewriting the ending. This journal guides you through the process using real world examples from your own experience as the foundation.
Anchor is a guided journal for adult daughters of emotionally immature or narcissistic mothers. You use it whenever you notice a reaction you want to understand.
