Your Tracker

For noticing what helps

One row a night: tick what you did, add your pull and mood, and see your progress on the same page. Fillable, phone and printable versions included.

Why there are things to do

A different response
takes practice.

01

Notice the moment.

What happened just before the urge, the argument in your head, or the familiar ache?

02

Try one small response.

Pause before a message. Separate a fact from a guess. Rehearse the words for a difficult encounter.

03

Find out what helps you.

Keep what was useful. Adjust what wasn’t. A difficult day gives you information to work with.

Where research fits in

The kit draws on approaches to noticing automatic thoughts, planning responses and practising attention. Neuroplasticity describes the brain’s capacity to change with experience; it does not promise that a particular workbook will change your brain or end your pain on a schedule.

The workbook explains the research behind its practices. This kit has not been clinically tested and is not a substitute for professional care.

Before you decide

A few things you might be wondering.

Do I have to follow all 30 days?

No. The workbook offers a sequence, but each day can stand on its own. Use the smaller practice, skip a day or return to an earlier one.

Is this only for a romantic breakup?

The workbook also speaks to friendship endings and connections that never had a clear name. The Field Guide has specific paths for friendship endings and ghosting. Choose the exercises that fit your circumstances.

What if I ended it?

Missing someone and questioning a decision can happen together. Day 13, “Was I Wrong?”, gives you a place to look at what you knew then and what you miss now.

What exactly do I download?

Six PDFs: Start Here, the 30-Day Workbook, the Pocket Book: The Night Desk, the Field Guide, The Traps and the tracker. The tracker is a fillable PDF you complete in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, and it prints on A4.

Can I use it on my phone?

You can read the PDFs on your phone. The A4 pages are roomier on a tablet or computer, or in print. For interactive tracker calculations, follow the supplied Acrobat instructions; in-app browser PDF viewers may not support them.

Is the audio included?

Your kit includes the guided audio for Days 1–7. The full 30-day collection, with Days 8–30, is an optional $12 add-on on the order page.

Will this make me feel better in 30 days?

There is no promised recovery timeline. These are self-guided practices to try and revisit. If the support you need is greater than a workbook can offer, professional support may be useful alongside it.
