Permission to Feel: An Embodied Art Journal

AN INVITATION INTO YOUR TRANS JOURNEY

The gender binary is a structure constricting everyone. This book, intended for adults, offers you a place to be with letting go of old structures and transition into a version of yourself without them. Whether you transition backwards (back into your assigned gender) or forwards (into something complete for you), your transformation along that journey remains. It's an open invitation for anyone called to step into the trans journey and explore all the phases of themselves freely. Allow your self-compassion to grow as you meet your Lunar self and develop a relationship to all of you as natural. Part of nature.

For many on the trans journey, safety is not a given. Transitioning away from others' expectations of who you are can lead to danger. Because of this, cultivating an internal sense of safety becomes a priority. This book provides you the space to cultivate inner safety by showing up to your journey, building confidence, expressing freely, and developing a somatic awareness of self. With that present, your trans journey transforms into something for you and you only, no matter what's happening. All by giving yourself permission to feel.

A Non-Verbal Space to Explore

This book gives you a non-verbal space to explore freely, to empower yourself, and to grow a somatic library you can bring into your sessions with your therapist. It is not a replacement for therapy, but a place to support you in your self-growth.
