Finding My Way Back - A Gentle Healing Journal for Triggers, Pain & Recovery

You’re already doing it.

This is not a manual.
It’s not a 10-step plan to fix yourself.
And it doesn’t promise a clean, linear version of healing.

Finding My Way Back is a gentle, honest journal for the moments when healing feels slow, messy, repetitive, or impossible to explain to anyone else.

This book was created for people living with triggers, emotional pain, nervous system overwhelm, and the quiet exhaustion that follows trauma. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t ask you to perform healing “correctly.” It simply sits with you — in the fog, in the setbacks, and in the small moments of relief that prove you’re still here.

Inside these pages, healing is allowed to look real.

Some days it looks like progress.
Some days it looks like survival.
Both count.

The journal guides you through reflective pages that help you:

• Understand what healing actually looks like for you
• Make sense of triggers without judging yourself
• Name what sets you off and what brings even a little safety
• Reconnect with your body instead of fighting it
• Release words you’ve never been able to say out loud
• Track moments of grounding, softness, and relief
• Write to yourself with honesty, patience, and compassion

There is no pressure to finish this journal.
You can skip pages.
You can come back months later.
You can write one sentence or fill an entire page.

This book understands that healing doesn’t happen all at once — it happens breath by breath.
