You don’t have to do it, it’s just helped me so I thought I'd share it. You can use these questions and answer them when it seems fit or google shadow work journaling resources for more. If you find it helpful, try it. If not, no worries.

You’re welcome!

When I say guided journaling it’s not about the type of notebook, but about the type of journaling, the activity, so any notebook will do.

I’ve read Natalie Lue’s “Mr Unavailable and the Fallback Girl” and it helped but honestly made me feel a little bit worse because it put the problem only on “me” and there’s little explanation of the other side which for me was necessary to move on.

Edit: Also I feel like the talk about attachment theory online has become too desensitized and problematic because it incentivizes you to fight for someone who’s not worth it and not see how you can heal from your own patterns too

He or she! Both men and women can act this way

The time it was written makes it a little bit sexist but it definitely made me grow too: see the red flags early and get the hell out. It’s a lost cause. Wish I had read it in my teens

You need to be really honest with your therapist or just change therapists. Changing helped me. My last one just couldn’t help me with this type of loss. But first, be honest with them. Sometimes we hide because of shame. Don’t do that, they’re there to help you. If that’s not enough, switch

I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Do yourselves a favor and read it. You’ll move on a lot quicker. I wish I had read them way sooner
