Escape the Trauma Matrix — Level 1 Foundation 3-Book Set
Complete Level 1 physical curriculum — $99
Purchased separately through Lulu, the three books total $136.97 before shipping.
Bundle savings: $37.97 — about 28% off the books themselves.
This 3-book physical set brings together the complete Level 1 foundation of the larger Escape the Trauma Matrix curriculum:
Emotional Resiliency
Escape the Trauma Matrix: Level 1
The Complete Identity Repair Journey
Together, the three books move through the connected work of Emotional Understanding, Agency Repair, and Identity Repair.
You begin by understanding what your emotional systems are communicating. From there, you work with the fear, prediction, effort, reward, and stuck patterns that interfere with agency. Then you move into a progressive reflection system designed to help you gather lived evidence, notice patterns, strengthen self-trust, and build a fuller record of who you are over time.
Why Choose the Physical Set?
These books were built to be worked with, written in, flipped through, and returned to.
All three are professionally printed and coil-bound, so they lie open while you’re using them. The curriculum also relies heavily on two-page spreads, allowing related tools, prompts, and reflection spaces to stay visible together instead of forcing you to constantly move back and forth between pages.
With the physical set, there’s no printing, organizing loose pages, or managing multiple PDF files. Your complete Level 1 foundation stays together as three dedicated workbooks you can move through at your own pace and return to whenever you need them.
The Identity Repair portion is especially different in physical form. Instead of three separate digital journals, The Complete Identity Repair Journey combines the entire progression into one physical book — beginning with the 7-Day Check-In, continuing through Recent Evidence and Reflections x3, and carrying you through the Cycle-Down Month and the transition into creating your own journaling practice.
What’s Included
Emotional Resiliency lays the groundwork by helping you understand anger, grief, guilt, shame, dread, anxiety, fear, and other emotional systems — not as random reactions to suppress, but as information your nervous system is trying to communicate.
Escape the Trauma Matrix: Level 1 builds on that foundation by helping you map your nervous system, work with fear prediction and catastrophizing, understand anxiety and dread, rebuild trust in effort and reward, and practice Poised Readiness.
The Complete Identity Repair Journey brings the identity-repair work into a progressive reflection system. You begin with short daily check-ins, move into gathering recent evidence and recognizing patterns, and gradually widen the lens through weekly, monthly, and 90-day reflection until the structure begins handing the process back to you.
The goal is not to keep you dependent on a journal product forever. The system is designed to teach you a reflection method you can eventually carry forward in a notebook, binder, or journaling system of your own.
Three Books. Three Connected Layers of Level 1.
Emotional Understanding helps you understand what is happening inside you.
Agency Repair helps you understand the patterns affecting choice, effort, fear, reward, and forward movement.
Identity Repair helps you gather and reflect on the lived evidence that trauma taught you to overlook, discount, or forget.
They are separate books because each layer deserves room to breathe. They belong together because each one supports the next.
Why I Fulfill the Physical Set This Way
The $37.97 bundle savings is possible because I process the complete set differently from the individual Lulu retail listings.
Instead of sending you to Lulu to purchase all three books separately at full retail price, I personally process the bundle through my author account so you can receive the complete Level 1 foundation at a lower combined price.
You still receive the same three professionally printed, coil-bound books — just through a more hands-on fulfillment process designed to keep the physical curriculum as accessible as possible.
How Your Physical Order Is Fulfilled
This set is independently published and printed on demand. That means your books are not sitting prepacked in a warehouse waiting for next-day shipment.
When you place your order through Payhip, I personally receive it first. I then place your 3-book print order through Lulu using the shipping information you provided, and Lulu prints the books and ships them directly to you.
Because your books are printed specifically for your order, there is a production period before carrier delivery begins. In my own experience ordering these books, Lulu has consistently taken about five business days to print and dispatch them.
You will hear from me directly during the process. I’ll let you know when your Lulu order has been placed, and once tracking becomes available, I’ll send that information along as well.
International Orders
I have set up shipping for as many countries as I reasonably could based on Lulu’s current shipping availability and rates.
If your country does not appear as an available shipping destination, please contact me: Jaena@defeatingchildhoodtrauma.com before assuming the physical set is unavailable to you. Lulu’s shipping rates and carrier availability vary by country, and I may be able to check your destination and add an appropriate shipping option.
Some countries require additional recipient information before Lulu can ship an order. At the time of setup, those countries include:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mexico, and Peru.
If you live in one of these countries, please contact me before purchasing so I can walk through the additional fulfillment requirement with you.
Carrier availability can also temporarily change in certain regions. If your country is not currently available, feel free to reach out and I can check the most current Lulu shipping status.
Prefer to Avoid International Shipping Costs or Extra Red Tape?
The curriculum is also available digitally. Because the full digital curriculum contains five PDF files, I split it into two separate purchases rather than sending one overwhelming five-file download:
- Emotional Resiliency + Escape the Trauma Matrix Level 1
- Complete Identity Repair Journey Digital PDF Trio — 7-Day Check-In, Recent Evidence, and Reflections ×3
For customers in regions with especially high physical shipping costs, or where additional customs information is required, the digital route may be the easier and more affordable option. You can find both digital options in the Tool Shop, or use the links below:
These books use a great deal of two-page logic, so if you choose to print your PDFs, printing double-sided beginning with the title page will preserve the intended facing-page flow of the physical editions.
Your Privacy
Your order information is used only as needed to process, fulfill, and communicate with you about your purchase. I do not sell your personal information, and Lulu states that it does not sell customers’ personal information either.
Please Keep in Mind
This is a personally processed, print-on-demand order rather than an automated warehouse shipment. That adds a little time before your books begin traveling to you, but it also allows me to offer the complete physical curriculum directly and stay personally involved from purchase through shipment.
Thank you for supporting independent publishing — and for trusting me with your order.
