The Only One: Notes from a Life Between Roles

Part memoir. Part mirror. Part quiet revolution.

If you’ve ever felt like it was your job to keep the peace, hold the weight, or be the strong one, even when no one said it out loud, this book is for you.

The Only One is a deeply honest reflection on what it means to grow up carrying emotional responsibility that was never really yours… and how to finally put it down.

Written by Clinical Hypnotherapist Dominique Shipstone, this powerful little book is both personal and universal, weaving lived experience with gentle insight, so you can begin to recognise what you’ve inherited, and consciously choose what you’re ready to release.

What’s included:

• A beautifully written short book blending story and therapeutic wisdom

• A companion workbook with journaling prompts to help you reflect, release, and rebuild emotional clarity

• A guided meditation audio to ground your nervous system, let go of pressure, and reconnect with self-compassion

Whether you're an only child, an over-responsible adult, or someone who’s ready to stop carrying the emotional weight of others, this is your invitation to come home to yourself.
