10 professionally designed pages. 5 client handouts. 5 session companions. Everything you need to do deep childhood wound work — starting today.
Most clients don't arrive in session knowing they have a "childhood wound." They arrive saying they can't stop self-sabotaging, that relationships always fall apart, or that they feel fundamentally broken — and can't explain why. Naming the wound is often the first step that changes everything.
The Five Wounds That Shape Adult Life
Based on the pioneering work of therapists and researchers in attachment and inner child healing, these five core wounds are at the root of many of the struggles clients bring to your practice — from chronic anxiety and people-pleasing, to avoidance, perfectionism, and volatile relationships.
Wound 01 — Abandonment Fear of being left. Shows up as clinginess, people-pleasing, or intense fear of endings in relationships.
Wound 02 — Rejection Deep belief of being fundamentally unworthy. Leads to self-isolation, avoidance of vulnerability, and difficulty receiving love.
Wound 03 — Betrayal Difficulty trusting after broken promises. Often manifests as controlling behaviour or chronic suspicion in relationships.
Wound 04 — Humiliation Shame around needs and self-expression. May lead to people-pleasing or persistent difficulty asserting personal limits.
Wound 05 — Injustice Rigid inner critic and emotional repression — often rooted in a cold or overly demanding early environment.
What's Inside the Complete Edition
This is a 10-page professional pack — two pages per wound. Each wound gets a client-facing handout and a private session companion built specifically for the practitioner.
Page 1 — Client Handout Hand directly to your client before, during, or after a session. Each handout includes:
A compassionate explanation of the wound and how it forms
How it shows up in adult relationships and behaviour
The core belief the wound created
What the inner child needed but didn't receive
3 gentle reflection prompts for journaling or in-session use
A healing affirmation written for that wound
A message of hope for the path forward
Page 2 — Session Companion Your private clinical reference for each wound. Includes:
Clinical overview and theoretical framework
Session goals for working with this wound
What to watch for in session
Deep dive questions to explore with your client
Recommended therapeutic interventions
Rupture and repair guidance
Contraindications and clinical cautions
The Math That Makes This a No-Brainer
At $37 for 10 pages, each page costs less than $4 — and can be used with every client you see. Work with just 10 clients on these themes and it costs less than $0.40 per client per session.

Is This Right for Your Practice?
This edition was built for therapists, psychologists, counselors, and coaches who work with attachment wounds, trauma, or inner child healing. It's compatible with IFS, attachment theory, and trauma-informed frameworks — and designed to slot seamlessly into your existing approach rather than replace it.
If you run group programs, lead workshops, or simply want to give clients something tangible and beautifully designed to take home after a session, this pack delivers on all fronts. It works equally well in individual sessions, couples work, and group settings.
