Survival Mode Journal Printable | Guided Journal for Women Who've Survived Abuse Addiction or Crisis | Trauma Recovery Workbook | Instant Download PDF

This journal wasn't written by someone with a degree in trauma recovery. It was written by someone who has been where you are. More than once.

41 prompts across 4 parts — written by a survivor of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, addiction, and homelessness. Not a clinical workbook. Not a wellness influencer's healing journey. A real journal from someone who lived it and came out the other side still standing.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You've survived an abusive relationship — emotional, verbal, or physical
• You've lived with or loved someone whose addiction ran your life
• You've hit rock bottom financially, emotionally, or both
• You've been through something you can't fully explain to people who weren't there
• You're out of survival mode but still figuring out what living actually feels like
• You're tired of healing content written by people who've never been through anything real

THIS IS NOT: a replacement for therapy; written by a licensed professional; full of toxic positivity or neat arcs; going to tell you to manifest your way out of trauma

A NOTE ON THE CONTENT
Some of these prompts will bring up hard things. That's intentional. If something surfaces that feels bigger than a journal page can hold, please reach out to someone trained to help.
