Before We Begin: 3 Worksheets for Where You Are Now
Gentle Trauma-Informed First Steps to Explore C-PTSD, Emotional Flashbacks & Survival Mode
We officially begin the ‘Rewired Healing Series this Tuesday — but before we start, I’ve created three foundational worksheets exclusively for paid subscribers to help gently check in with where you are right now in your healing.
These are not tests — just personal reflections.
They’re designed to give you a starting point and help you notice how Complex PTSD might be showing up in your daily life.
You’ll return to them after the 14-week series to see how things have shifted.
❤️ Your Rewired Foundations Worksheets Are Ready
1. What Is Complex PTSD?
A self-check-in to explore what symptoms & patterns might be active in your life today.

2. Emotional Flashbacks: A Gentle Introduction
Learn how emotional flashbacks feel in your body — and how to respond with grounding, not shame.

3. Survival Mode in Adulthood
Notice how chronic stress or old protection patterns may still be running the show — and begin to explore what safety might feel like instead.

✨ Please go at your own pace.
If you begin to feel overwhelmed, activated, or dysregulated while working through any of these reflections, pause and come back to your body.
You don’t need to finish anything all at once — or at all.
This series is here to support you, not pressure you. You’re allowed to take breaks, skip sections, or return later when it feels safer.
Listening to your nervous system is the work.
Use them to help you feel more grounded before we begin — and as a way to track your growth along the way.
You’re not behind. You’re not broken.
You’re doing the hard, brave work — and I’m so glad you’re here.
❤️ Big hugs,
Kristin
