Missing Pieces: The Needs That Explain Your Hurts, That No One Ever Explained To You

$39.00

Book one of the core-needs series, hand-bound and mailed with 15 printed companion tools.

Most of us were taught to ask what happened. Missing Pieces asks what was missing, and shows you how five core emotional needs (safety, connection, autonomy, esteem, and trust) explain the hurts no one ever explained to you. This bundle is the first book in the core-needs series, hand-bound and mailed with every companion tool printed and ready to write on. Map your life, measure what you needed then and now, grieve what can't be given back, stop the bleeding in the present, and start meeting your needs on purpose. Not sure where to begin? Open Where Do I Start Healing? first. It walks you through the tools in the order they actually help.

Mailed in a discreet envelope with discreet book covers that do not give away what the materials are about, for those would do not wish to share due to the sensitive nature of the topic.

Before you gift this:

This book works best as an invitation, not an intervention. Send it to someone you already have a good relationship with: someone who trusts you, who’s talked with you about this kind of thing before, or who’s told you they’re ready to look at their own story.

Please don’t send it to someone you’re hoping to fix. If they’re in the middle of a conflict with you, or you’ve been waiting for them to “finally get it,” they’ll probably read it as a message, not a gift. And no one heals because someone else decided they needed to.

If you’re not sure, read it yourself first. That’s usually where this work starts anyway.
