I thought anger was all I had — but art helped me find what was underneath.
Source: A Healing Tool I Created When Nothing Else Was Working — Healing Art Journey
There was a time in my life when I didn’t know how to hold the weight of what I was feeling.
I didn’t allow myself to feel the pain, or the grief, or the sadness.
The only feeling I gave myself permission to show… was anger.
And when I wasn’t angry? I was numb.
It felt safer to disconnect than to break open.
But deep down, I knew I wasn’t truly okay.
I just didn’t know where to start — or how to put myself back together.
That’s why I created this workbook — not just as a therapist or facilitator, but as someone who knows what it’s like to be in that place.
Someone who needed a gentle structure to hold the chaos — and a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be loud, fast, or linear.
You…..
-
You keep forgetting what helps when you need it most
-
You feel like you’re slipping into the same patterns over and over
-
You get angry, numb, or overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
-
You want a simple, creative way to track what actually supports your healing
-
You’ve tried therapy — but you need something with you in the in-between moments
…then this is for you.
Real-Life Struggles It Supports
🔹 “I don’t know where to start.” WRAP breaks things down into small, manageable steps — so you can start exactly where you are.
🔹 “I forget what helps when I’m overwhelmed.” Inside, you’ll list your own tools and reminders — simple things like “go for a walk,” “paint for 10 minutes,” or “call my sister.”
🔹 “I don’t notice I’m slipping until I’m deep in it.” This workbook helps you recognize your early warning signs — and take kind, proactive action.
🔹 “Crisis makes me feel helpless.” You’ll create a plan ahead of time — so when a crisis hits, you already know what to do and who to call.
🔹 “I feel like I’m doing this alone.” You’ll be guided to identify your safe supports — people who can walk beside you, even in the hard moments. the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
You don’t need to fix it all at once.
You just need a gentle next step.
This Workbook is it.
I’d be honoured to walk this path with you.
With love and compassion,
