Skip it if…

you have significant trauma; work with a professional.

Try instead: Redefining Anxiety →

Three things you will actually use

  1. You are not your story; you are its author.
  2. Own it before you change it.
  3. Connection heals.

Do this first

Write the story you tell about your hardest year and then rewrite it as the owner.

Our verdict

Plain-spoken past work.
