When I agreed to do the Calling in the One workbook, it was primarily to support a friend as I was more than a bit skeptical. It certainly didn't help when I found out that the author's love story shared within the book ends in "conscious uncoupling" short years after it was published! However, it remains one of my all-time favorite workbooks to the point that I've been through it from start to finish twice! I find it has so many great practices to cultivate loving relationships --first and foremost with yourself.
One of the main goals of the book is to identify and remove the barriers that are standing in your way of being able to experience your ideal loving relationship. It's set up as a daily workbook with inspirational reading followed by an activity such as a meditation or an invitation to take an active step related to your goals. It invites you to draw how you see yourself, think about how your past is getting in the way with your present, and find ways to be your own biggest supporter (like writing yourself love letters -yes please!). Exploring our most loving selves, regardless of who else joins us on our journey, is one of the most romantic things we can experience. A few disclaimers: It has a spiritual framework that will not appeal to everyone, and it admits to using hetero-normative language with a monogamous relationship as the end goal.

AuthorAs a teacher and lifelong learner, I love to share things that I learn along my own journey. Plus, I've often been unable to afford therapy, so bibliotherapy (or self-help books!) have been a big part of my own healing journey. This is a spot where I'll share resources and musings. Archives
