How to Use This Guide

Coming Back to Each Other and The Reconnection Journal are written from lived experience, not professional training. Before you read, download, or use either of them, here's what you should know.

What This Guide Is

This book draws closely on a real story, shared with the author in confidence and written here in the first person to keep it as honest and immediate as possible. It's a collection of reflections, observations, and tools built from lived experience of rebuilding a relationship after a period of unfounded suspicion. It's meant to help you organize your own thoughts and feelings, not to diagnose your relationship or tell you what to do about it.

What This Guide Is Not

The author is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, counselor, or attorney. Nothing in these materials should be treated as a substitute for professional advice from someone qualified to give it.

The five-question test and The Reconnection Journal are not a measure of whether your relationship will succeed, or proof of anything at all. No outcome from using them should be treated as a definitive answer about your relationship. They exist to help you think more clearly and rebuild more deliberately, not to replace that work with a verdict.

On Children and Family Matters

If you have children, this guide touches on how suspicion and its aftermath can affect them, and offers general reflections drawn from personal experience and conversations with a family therapist. This is not a substitute for guidance from a licensed child or family therapist who can assess your specific family situation. If concerns about your children's wellbeing feel significant, please consult a qualified professional directly.

No Professional Relationship Is Created

Reading this book or using the journal does not create a therapist-client, counselor-client, or attorney-client relationship between you and the author. These materials do not substitute for an evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified professional.

If You're in Crisis

This guide was not written for crisis situations. If you are experiencing domestic violence, abuse, or immediate danger, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or your local emergency services. Your safety comes first, always.

Who This Guide Is For

This guide is intended for adult readers. By using it, you agree that any decisions you make based on its content are your own responsibility, and that the author and publisher are not liable for how the information is used or applied.
