Tangled Bonds, Restored Hearts, the Companion Workbook Series
The book tells the stories. The workbooks help you live them out.
Each workbook is a 6-week, self-guided companion series designed for couples to work through together — one topic at a time, one week at a time. Every week follows the same simple rhythm: a Check-In, a short Mini-Lesson, a Guided Exercise, time to Reflect Together, a bit of Home Practice, and a warm Closing. No therapy background required — just two people willing to show up for each week.
Workbooks are coming soon. Digital PDF delivery and pricing details will be available when checkout is wired. Until then, join the waitlist for availability updates.
