✓ Written with real CBT technique

Sound familiar?

You've got the school run, the 9-to-5, and a grief you haven't had time to feel yet.

01

You know you should "process" this properly, but between work and the kids, a 50-minute weekly therapy slot feels like a luxury you can't fit in.

02

You're fine in front of everyone who needs you to be fine — and quietly falling apart in the ten minutes before you fall asleep.

03

You've read the articles. You know about self-care. You just need something that actually tells you what to do with ten spare minutes.

This workbook doesn't ask you to carve out an hour you don't have. It asks for a pen, ten quiet minutes, and a willingness to be honest with yourself — whenever you can find them.

What's inside

Twelve guided sections. A CBT toolkit in every one.

Real cognitive-behavioral technique — thought records, cognitive distortions, behavioral activation, SMART goals — translated into plain language and ten-minute exercises, not clinical jargon.

See it for yourself

Real pages, not just a promise.

Three real pages, pulled straight from the workbook — the opening check-in, and two of the CBT tools you'll use section after section.

Section 1 opening page, Where You Are Right Now: a gentle check-in with several reflection prompts and 1-to-10 scales to rate how supported, hopeful, and kind to yourself you feel. A page from Section 2 showing a checklist of how grief has shown up this week, followed by the CBT Toolkit's ABC Model exercise with prompts for the Activating event, Belief, and Consequence. A page from Section 7's CBT Toolkit, Behavioral Experiments, with prompts for the boundary you're avoiding, your prediction of what will happen, and what actually happened.

Is this you?

Built for a specific kind of busy.

This is for you if —

  • You're rebuilding after divorce while still running a household or career
  • You want structure, not another blank journal staring back at you
  • You like practical tools you can actually use, grounded in real technique
  • You can give this ten honest minutes, even if it's at 11pm

This isn't for you if —

  • You're in immediate danger or crisis — please contact emergency services first
  • You're looking for a replacement for therapy or legal advice
  • You want something to read passively, without writing in it

Who wrote this

Built from years spent watching people go without support they needed.

The Next Chapter wasn't written inside a divorce — it was written by authors who have spent years working in medical and therapeutic settings, watching people carry exactly this kind of pain without anywhere affordable to take it. Good therapy is often expensive, slow to access, or booked out for months. This workbook exists because that gap is real, and a guided, evidence-informed starting point shouldn't have to wait for a waiting list.

Questions

Before you go —

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. This workbook is designed for reflection, education and personal development — it's not a substitute for therapy, medical care, legal advice or financial advice. It pairs well alongside professional support, and many women use it between sessions or while on a waiting list.

How much time does it actually take?

Most sections are built to be worked through in ten to twenty minutes. You can do one section a week, one page a night, or binge the whole thing on a quiet Sunday — there's no required pace.

What format do I get?

You'll receive a print-ready PDF, delivered instantly to the email you check out with. Print it and use a pen, or write directly into it on a tablet or PDF annotation app.

What if I'm not ready to think about any of this yet?

That's completely alright, and this workbook will keep. There's no expiry on the download — start whenever the ten minutes and the willingness line up.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. Checkout is processed by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor used by millions of businesses. Your card details are sent directly and securely to Stripe — they never pass through or get stored on our servers.
