Coming To My Rescue: A Journal for the Practice of Becoming

Coming to My Rescue is a guided journal for the moments when journaling needs to feel meaningful, not mechanical; when you are longing for clarity, courage, or a safe place to tell yourself the truth.

Inspired by shadow work, insight practices, and nonviolent communication, this journal goes beyond surface-level prompts. It invites you into the kind of writing that helps you see yourself with more precision, strengthen your sense of self, and feel less like a character in other people’s stories and more like the author of your own authentic life.

Inside you’ll find:

• 168 lined pages with month and date circles
• 50 reflective prompts to help you explore your inner narrator
• 15 question collections that guide you deeper into your lived experience
• Feelings and needs lists inspired by nonviolent communication
• A guide to common defense mechanisms so you can notice patterns and move beyond them
• Self-esteem reflections to help you recognize both your strong and tender sides
• A letter from your journal itself — a gentle pep talk if you’re new to journaling
• Tips to help your practice feel like a life-serving ritual, not a chore

The title is a wink to the dog rescue community: “Who rescued who?” Here, the answer is simple: you are coming to your own rescue, one honest reflection at a time.
