Why You'll Love It

Every exercise starts with something that actually happened to you and works backward from there. You’ll leave with the Emotion Wheel language for what you were really feeling, the Unmet Needs List that shows what the feeling was pointing to, and one diagram that maps the pattern end to end, from the first event to the way you’ve been coping with it, on a single page. 13 exercises, 238 pages, eight copies of every exercise so you can run a new situation through it whenever one comes up.

Details

13 Heartwork™ exercises, 238 pages, self-led. Includes the Emotion Wheel, the Unmet Needs List, and eight copies of every exercise so you can run new situations through the same process. Available in paperback (English) and as an ebook (fillable PDF, in English, French, or Spanish).

How to Use

Self-led, at your own pace. Start at the front: sign the commitment, then bring a moment that still bothers you to exercise 1. The early exercises walk you from the reaction to the emotion underneath it, then to the need that emotion was pointing to, and each one builds on what you wrote in the last. Every exercise comes with extra copies, so when a new situation comes up you can run it through the same steps and watch the pattern get clearer. Some people do one exercise a sitting, others take a week with one. There’s no schedule to keep, only the practice.

This is for you if:

Every relationship ends the same way. Different person, different year, and somehow it’s the exact same falling out, the same breakup, the same cutting the person off.
Money gets tight, you rack up debt, you pay it down, and six months later the debt is back and so is the stress.
Every job starts out great. Then the same manager shows up in a new body, the same feeling of being overlooked creeps in, and you leave for the same reason you left the last one.
Things just don’t work out for you. You watch them work out for everyone else and can’t figure out why it won’t happen for you.
You’ve tried to be different. New year, new habits, new rules for yourself. It holds for a while, and then it doesn’t.
You’re exhausted from watching the same patterns repeat in your life and not knowing how to make them stop.

Patterns don't change because you understand them. They change when you have a repeatable process to work through them.

Clarity is the beginning of transformation, not the end.

Patterns repeat because they're protecting something.

Your mind runs on patterns. Without a process to interrupt them, they keep firing on autopilot, and the same situation keeps finding you. This journal takes whatever pattern you’re stuck in through the three Seasons of the Heartwork Protocol: 13 exercises that move you from the reaction, to the emotion, to the need underneath, to a different response.

Caterpillar: Uncover

You start here because the pattern is the only part you can see. Across exercises 1 to 7, you take one of those repeating situations, name the emotion it leaves you with, and trace it back to the first time you felt it. Then you find the need that went unmet, the fear underneath it, and the behavior you’ve been using to protect yourself from both.

Cocoon: Process and rewire

In exercises 8 to 11, you look at what that behavior has taken from you and lay the pattern out on one page, from the first event to how you’ve been coping with it. Then you figure out what you need instead: the people who support you and the ways you take care of yourself.

Butterfly: Act

In exercises 12 and 13, you plan the response you want to have next time. You write out what you’ll do when the pattern shows up, and you practice it before you need it, so you act differently in the moment instead of understanding it afterward.

What's inside

The Heartwork Protocol:

Every exercise asks the same four questions: what happened, what did you feel, what did you need, and what will you do differently. Ask them enough times, about enough situations, and the pattern stops being a mystery. Everything in the journal is built to make that a habit.

13 Heartwork™ Exercises

Each one builds on what you wrote in the last, taking you from one situation that keeps repeating to the need and the fear underneath it, and then to a plan for next time.

01

The Emotion Wheel

Name what you’re actually feeling instead of defaulting to “fine” or “OK.” Precision unlocks the next step.

02

Your Pattern on One Page

In Exercise 9 you transfer everything you’ve written into a single diagram: the first event, the feeling, the need, the fear, and the behavior you’ve been using to cope. Every piece of the loop, visible at once.

03

The Unmet Needs List

A printed reference that pairs what you’re feeling (fear, anger, sadness) with the need it points toward, so you can trace a reaction back to what you actually needed.

04

Eight Copies of Every Exercise

Run a new situation through the same steps whenever one comes up. The journal is built to be reused, not finished.

05

You already know how it ends. That's the part you can change.

The same situation keeps finding you because the reaction fires before you've had a chance to choose. By the time you notice, it's over, and you're left asking why you did it again.

This journal is where you slow that moment down. Thirteen exercises take one situation that keeps repeating and trace it back to the feeling, the need, and the fear underneath it, so the next time it starts you recognize it in time to do something different.

Awareness shows you the pattern. Practice is what changes it.

Questions people ask before they buy

See All Questions See All Questions

How many exercises are inside?

13 Heartwork™ exercises. Each one walks you through the same step-by-step framework: identify the emotion, uncover the need, and change the pattern.

How long does it take to work through?

There's no set timeline. Some people move through one exercise in a sitting, others take days or weeks with a section. The repeated pages mean you'll come back to it whenever a new situation comes up.

Why are there repeated pages?

On purpose. Each exercise includes multiple copies of the same framework so you can apply it to different situations, emotions, or relationships as you grow. The repetition is how you spot patterns and track your evolution over time.

Do I need the other Butterfly SZN journals to use this one?

No. Every journal stands on its own. This is the one to start with if you can't yet name what keeps repeating; the Self-Worth and Friendship journals go deep on one territory each.

Paperback or ebook?

Same journal, same exercises. The paperback ships from the US in English. The ebook is a fillable PDF in your inbox within minutes, available in English, French, or Spanish, and the right pick if you're outside the US and don't want to wait on shipping.

What if it's not for me?

You can return the journal within 14 days of delivery, as long as it's unused and in its original packaging. Email us with your order number to start a return. You cover return shipping, and we refund you once it arrives. Ebooks are refundable within 24 hours of purchase.
