The Companion Notebook to Restart and Restore was created as the partner to the Restart and Restore Journal. While the journal provides a structured path for healing, this companion notebook gives you additional space, inspiration, and guidance to continue your journey. It is designed for the survivors of cults, high-control groups, narcissistic abuse, and coercive relationships who want a safe and supportive place to process, reflect, and heal.
Within its pages are fifteen sections that expand on the themes of the journal, guiding you through grounding yourself, unmasking manipulation, untangling harmful beliefs, reclaiming your inner voice, setting boundaries, honoring grief, healing the body and mind, and rediscovering joy. Each section features a powerful quote from thought leaders such as Gabor Maté, Brené Brown, Gloria Steinem, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Judith Herman, and others. Survivor vignettes bring validation, reminding you that you are not alone. Writing prompts invite you to reflect deeply, uncover strengths, and take steady steps toward rebuilding confidence.
This notebook is compact and portable so you can carry it with you and write whenever you feel ready. It is a helpful companion for anyone using the Restart and Restore Journal, and it also stands on its own as a healing tool for survivors, counselors, and supporters in the recovery process.
