You start with one friendship, the one that's still sitting with you, and work it all the way through. You'll leave knowing the pattern you keep repeating (it's one of twelve, and the journal names them), what you needed from that friendship and didn't ask for, and a decision about whether to repair it or let it go, with the words to do either. Nine exercises, 76 pages, self-led.

The complete Guided Friendship Transformation Journal as a fillable PDF. All 9 Heartwork™ exercises, the Friendship Patterns table, the Emotion Wheel, the repair-or-release scripts, and the Friendship Vision builder. Type directly into it on any device, or print any page as many times as you want. Available in English, French, or Spanish. Licensed for personal use.

Self-led, at your own pace. Start at the front: sign the commitment, then pick one friendship that didn't go the way you hoped, or one pattern you keep noticing, and stay with it. The first exercises walk you through what happened, the pattern underneath it, what you felt, and what you needed. The middle ones show you where you shut down or gave too much to keep the friendship, and how to speak up instead. The last ones help you decide whether to repair it or release it, and describe the friendships you want next. Some people finish in a week. Others sit with one exercise for a while. There's no schedule to keep, only the practice.

friendship patterns named inside

Patterns repeat because they're protecting something.

Your friendships run on patterns too. The roles you fall into, the things you don't say, the people you keep picking. Without a process to see them, you keep ending up in the same friendship with a different name on it. This journal takes one friendship, the one that's still sitting with you, through the three Seasons of the Heartwork Protocol: nine exercises that move you from what happened, to what you needed, to what you'll do about it.

Caterpillar: See the pattern

Caterpillar: See the pattern

You start here because a friendship that still bothers you is the clearest window into how you do friendship. Across exercises 1 to 4, you write down what happened, find your pattern on a table of twelve (the one who gives too much, the one who says nothing, the one who keeps the peace), name what you felt, and uncover what you needed and never asked for.

Cocoon: Speak up

Cocoon: Speak up

In exercises 5 to 7, you look at how you've been handling it: the shutting down, the over-giving, the smoothing things over. You see where you've been giving yourself up to keep the friendship, and you practice saying what you need clearly, without apologizing or over-explaining.

Butterfly: Repair or release

Butterfly: Repair or release

In exercises 8 and 9, you decide what to do with the friendship: repair it, with an apology framework and scripts for the conversation, or release it, with the words to do that honestly instead of just disappearing. Then you write out what you want the next friendship to look like, so you recognize it when it shows up.

What's inside

The Heartwork Protocol, applied to friendship:

The journal asks three questions about one friendship: what happened and how did it make me feel, where did I give myself up to keep it, and how do I want to show up from here. Answer them about one friendship and you'll see the pattern in all of them.

9 Heartwork™ Exercises

9 Heartwork™ Exercises

Each one builds on the last, taking one friendship from what happened, to the pattern underneath it, to a decision about what to do next.

01
The Friendship Patterns Table

The Friendship Patterns Table

Twelve patterns, with what you do and what it gets you. Overgiving, avoiding conflict, the "therapist friend," fear of being replaced. You'll find yours on the first read.

02
The Emotion Wheel

The Emotion Wheel

Name what you're actually feeling in friendship moments, disappointment, resentment, grief, instead of defaulting to "fine."

03
Repair or Release Scripts

Repair or Release Scripts

An apology framework for the friendships worth fixing, and fill-in-the-blank words for ending the ones that aren't, so you can do either one clearly instead of disappearing.

04
The Friendship Vision Builder

The Friendship Vision Builder

A guided statement of what you value, what you'll no longer tolerate, and what you want from the next friendship. Your compass for the ones that haven't happened yet.

05

The friendship ended. The pattern didn't.

You can lose the friend and keep the role. The one who gives more, the one who doesn't say it, the one who waits to be chosen. Those roles come with you into the next friendship, which is why the next one feels familiar.

This journal takes the one friendship that still sits with you and works it all the way through: what you needed, what you didn't ask for, and what you'd do differently now. You only need the one, because the role you find there is the same one you've been carrying into every friendship since. Once you can see it in this one, you'll recognize it the next time it starts, and that's where the friendships begin to change.

The friendships change when you do.

Gets down to the core of your coping strategies

A great journal to focus on one's unhealthy coping strategies and how it shapes how we show up in relationships. It's a great workbook to do alone or if you're in therapy.

Smart friendship

This was so helpful, very practical and a great tool for navigating the world of friendship. I will use it as a reference going forward. I bought another one as a gift for a friend.

The Friendship book

The Friendship book is the second book I purchased for my daughters, my friends, and myself. I absolutely love discovering new things about myself, how my past experiences relate to my relationships and how to get to a better place with my true friends.
