Inside the House

You hold a limit at work. You fail to hold the same limit with your mother, and the only explanation on offer is that something is wrong with you. There is a second explanation: the limit is real, you already use it somewhere else in your life, and it simply has not made it into that part yet.

A 38-page workbook across six sections: the ground the whole house stands on and how to tell a today problem from a lasting one, the rooms your life divides into and what you already do well in some of them, what crosses between them uninvited and what you can carry across on purpose, what came with the house and how to tell it from everything else, what you carried up to the attic yourself, and what you reach for when you cannot stay in the state you are in.

You get to stay one person who shows up differently in different places. There is no truer version of you underneath waiting to be dug out — what changes is where you are standing, and what that part of your life asks of you. Fillable on your computer, or print it and write by hand.
