This workbook was created for people who grew up in families that did not meet their emotional, physical, or relational needs—and who are now seeking understanding, healing, and change.

Brought to you by two Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists and Certified EMDR providers who specialize in family of origin wounds and attachment trauma. Family of origin wounding can take many forms. It may come from neglect, inconsistency, emotional unavailability, criticism, enmeshment, abandonment, or environments where safety, attunement, or stability were missing. Often, these experiences were subtle, ongoing, and confusing and sometimes the experiences were obvious or dramatic. In both cases, the impact can be long-lasting, shaping how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world.

This workbook offers a gentle, structured space to explore those early experiences without blame or pressure. Its purpose is not to judge your family or force forgiveness, but to help you make sense of your story, recognize how past patterns may still be influencing you, and begin developing healthier, more supportive ways of relating—to others and to yourself.

Inside, you'll find reflections, guided exercises, and practical tools designed to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. You are encouraged to move at your own pace, skip sections that feel overwhelming, and return to exercises as often as you need. Healing is not linear, and there is no "right" way to do this work.

This workbook is not a replacement for professional mental health services.
