The Keys to Felicity: A 12-Week Trauma-Informed Workbook for Healing and Self-Understanding

The Keys to Felicity Workbook

A 12-Week Journey to Better Understand Yourself

You don't have to have everything figured out to begin.

The Keys to Felicity Workbook is a guided 12-week journey designed to help you slow down, explore your emotions, recognize patterns, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Created by a licensed therapist, this workbook gives you a structured space to reflect, reconnect, and continue doing the work between therapy sessions—or on your own.

What's inside

• Guided self-reflection exercises
• Emotional awareness and exploration
• Prompts for recognizing patterns
• Tools for slowing down and checking in with yourself
• Weekly opportunities to pause, reflect, and reconnect

Start where you are. Go at your own pace.

Is this for you?

This workbook may be a good place to start if you:

• Feel disconnected from yourself and want to understand why
• Have a hard time identifying or expressing what you're feeling
• Notice patterns you want to better understand
• Are moving through a season of change or transition
• Want intentional time for reflection and self-discovery
• Want something tangible to help you continue your personal growth between therapy sessions

You don't need to be in crisis. You don't need to have a specific diagnosis or problem to solve.

You can simply be ready to understand yourself a little more deeply.

What makes this workbook different

• Trauma-informed from start to finish: Supportive language, consent-based prompts, and options so you can engage without feeling pushed.
• LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive: No assumptions, no judgment—just tools that honor your identity and lived experience.
• Evidence-based, not "generic self-help": Grounded in approaches commonly used in therapy, including ACT, CBT, and DBT-informed skills.
• Practical and usable: Clear exercises, reflection prompts, and check-ins you can return to anytime.

What you'll do inside (12-week structure)

• Track patterns with weekly check-ins and simple self-assessments
• Practice emotional regulation skills for intense moments
• Work with thoughts using gentle, structured reframes
• Explore values, needs, boundaries, and identity with guided reflection
• Set realistic goals and track progress in a way that feels encouraging—not shaming

Great for you if you're...

• An adult navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma-related symptoms
• Looking for a trauma-informed, affirming resource you can trust
• In therapy and want a structured way to practice between sessions
• Not in therapy (or not ready yet) but want a supportive place to start

Use it your way

This workbook can be used on your own or alongside counseling. You can move week-by-week, skip around, repeat sections, or pause when you need to. You're in charge of the pace.
