$27
Some seasons ask more of us than we have to give. If you're carrying stress you can't quite name, or a challenge that keeps circling back, this workbook offers a quiet place to set it down, even for an afternoon.
This is a guided workbook, written by Tori Dabasinskas, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with more than 30 years of experience, designed to walk you through reflection after reflection to help you grow in self-awareness. Across seven sections, you'll pause, notice what's true, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know how to heal. No appointment. No pressure. Just a pen, a quiet corner, and permission to slow down.
Retreat alone over a weekend set apart just for you. Work through it with a spouse or partner, over a few dates together. Bring it into a small group, or use it alongside a counselor. However you come to it, this is a tool you can return to. Life brings new challenges at different seasons, and this retreat can meet you in each one.
What's inside

Section 2: Name the Challenge (Awareness)
Section 3: Understand Your Inner World (Beliefs & Values)
Section 4: Engage Safe Connection (Attachment)

Appendix, Parts A & B: an invitation to go further with a faith-based tool for renewal. The seven core sections stand complete on their own if that's not where you are right now
How it works
Each section follows the same rhythm: a short teaching, guided reflection questions, space to journal, one practical step to try that week, and a moment to name your hope
Takes about 2 to 2.5 hours total
Most people move through it in 2 or 3 sittings rather than all at once
Why it's different from a workbook you read once
Built to be returned to across different seasons and different challenges, not something you finish and shelve
Who it's for
Anyone curious about self-awareness and their own wellness
Whether you're working through something specific or just want a quieter way to check in with yourself
No prior counseling experience needed
What early readers said
"I feel more grounded in truth than in my feelings."
— Lisa, retired Marriage & Family Therapist
"I have a clearer understanding of who I am."
— Rebecca, working empty nester
A note before you start
This is a starting point, not a replacement for ongoing support. If it stirs up more than you expected, you don't have to sit with it alone.
