When we experience trauma or need to find a way to protect ourselves from interpersonal hurt, we make unconscious contracts with ourselves, such as: “I will never let myself get treated that way again” or “I will never forgive myself for that". But these contracts often result in harmful behaviours like self-criticism, lack of trust and procrastination. Until we recognise and free ourselves from these damaging contracts, we can never truly heal.

Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care takes us through the world of relational neuroscience and, using the lens of unconscious contracts, explores how our brains, nervous systems and bodies react to the brains, nervous systems and bodies of others. Case studies, resonant-language practice, questionnaires, mediations and journaling provide readers with healing strategies for uncovering and rewriting these contracts. Following Your Resonant Self, this workbook provides the tools to turn inwards with kindness, warmth and curiosity, and create opportunities for self-healing.
