Contracts Unbroken

Face Yourself, Break Old Contracts

Welcome to Contracts Unbroken, a transformative shadow work journal designed for those ready to break free from the silent agreements and unconscious wounds binding their lives. With an unwavering tone that neither coddles nor conceals, this journal invites you to step beyond comfort and into brave self-confrontation.

The Journey Into Shadow

Each week of this journal is crafted around a core emotional wound—abandonment, betrayal, neglect, and suppressed desire. Through carefully curated daily prompts, you will excavate memories, examine the roots of recurring pain, and bravely map how these stories settle within your body. Every chapter draws on extensive psychological research, trauma recovery literature, and somatic therapy insights, ensuring every prompt and exercise is both deeply personal and founded in the latest understanding of emotional healing.

Structure That Supports Deep Work

This is not a quick-fix workbook. Each day guides you with a focused prompt, spacious writing pages, and a body-check practice that connects emotional memory with physical sensation. The rhythm of daily honesty is punctuated with weekly integration activities—powerful moments where your internal exploration is anchored with real-life action. Carefully placed reflection pages, body-mapping charts, and free-writing spaces offer room to bleed out what words alone cannot contain.

Honesty Over Comfort

Throughout, you are encouraged to move at your own pace, but with the demand of honesty and full engagement. The opening instructions prepare you for the resistance and discomfort that are necessary parts of real change. Each prompt is a confrontation, inviting you to face the abandoned, neglected, shamed, and denied parts of yourself. This journal is designed for those who are ready to reclaim and integrate lost fragments, empowering themselves to build a new story.
