Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is Tangled Bonds, Restored Hearts for?
Couples navigating hard seasons — communication breakdowns, money stress, parenting pressure, distance, trust, and the everyday storms that pull people apart. It’s written for readers who want real stories and practical tools, not abstract theory. It is education and self-help, not crisis care.
2. Do both partners need to read the book?
It’s most powerful when both engage, but one partner can start. Many readers begin alone, try a simple exercise, and invite their partner in when they’re ready. The companion workbooks are designed to be done together.
3. When and where can I buy the book?
The book will be Available Soon on Amazon as paperback and Kindle. Watch this site and Adelaide’s social channels for the on-sale date. Companion workbooks will be sold separately on this site as digital downloads.
4. Is this therapy?
No. Tangled Bonds and the companion workbooks are educational self-help tools written by Adelaide Wilson, LMFT, from decades of clinical experience. They are not therapy, not a substitute for professional care, and not for crisis situations.
5. How do the book and the workbooks fit together?
The book offers real couples’ stories, clinical insight, and tools you can try the same day. Each companion workbook is a 6-week guided deep dive on one topic — for couples who want structure and practice after (or alongside) the book. You dont have to do both.
6. Can I buy just one workbook, or only the full set?
When the workbooks launch, you’ll be able to purchase them individually or as a bundle. Choose the topic that matches what you’re facing now, or take the full series if you want the deeper path.
7. Do I need to read the book before starting a workbook?
No — each workbook stands on its own. Many readers start with whichever workbook matches what they’re facing right now and read the book alongside it or afterward.
8. Do we need a therapist to use these workbooks?
No. These are self-guided tools designed for couples to work through on their own, at their own pace. If you’re currently working with a therapist, the workbooks can complement that work — just let your therapist know what you’re working on.
9. How do the workbooks work?
Each workbook is a 6-week series. Every week follows the same format: a quick Check-In, a short Mini-Lesson, a Guided Exercise you do together, time to Reflect, a small Home Practice exercise, and a Closing. Most weeks take about45-60 minutes together.
10. What format are the workbooks in, and how do I get them?
Each workbook is a digital PDF you download immediately after purchase — no waiting, no shipping. You can print it or fill it in digitally, whatever works best for you.
11. Can we do more than one workbook at a time?
We recommend focusing on one topic at a time so each week has room to land, but every couple is different — do what works for you.
12. Is this workbook series faith-based?
The book and workbooks are written from a place of Christian faith, and readers of faith are welcome to bring prayer and their own spiritual practice into the work. That said, the exercises are written to be adapted to fit your own beliefs and background — the goal is always connection, not one “right” way to get there.
13. What if we're in crisis, not just going through a rough patch?
This workbook series is a self-guided tool, not a replacement for professional support. If you or your relationship is in crisis, please reach out to a licensed therapist or a crisis line in your area.
