“I’ve experimented with numerous therapy-guided journals before, but I often found myself losing momentum or simply forgetting to write in them. However, this notebook stands out as one of the few that I’ve consistently come back to, week after week. It genuinely feels like a therapeutic experience, and as a result, there are days when I allow myself extra time to process my thoughts afterward. The guidance provided has been incredibly beneficial. The fact that it’s been reviewed and directed by professionals truly makes a significant difference.”
- Katie Manning, Beyond Believed Founder
“It’s important to use this notebook alongside a therapist, to ensure you have a support network in place before going into these things, but overall it has really supported my EMDR process and staying on-track in terms of being vigilant of avoidance tendencies. I purchased this alongside the therapy companion notebook, and 10/10 recommend!”
