FAQ
Q: How long does it take to “rebuild” using this recipe?
A: There is no set timeframe. Healing is personal, nonlinear, and unique to each individual.
Q: What if I don’t feel courageous?
A: Courage often appears in small acts—truthfully acknowledging your feelings, setting one boundary, or taking one new step.
Q: Are setbacks normal?
A: Absolutely. Setbacks don’t erase progress; they teach you where the structure needs reinforcement.
Q: Can I adjust the ingredients?
A: Yes. Your journey is yours—add more support, take more time, or sprinkle in new experiences as needed.
Q: What if hope feels out of reach?
A: Borrow it from someone who believes in you, or from the fact that you’ve started this journey. Beginning is its own form of hope.
