10 honest questions to ask yourself before you decide

For women in decades-long relationships

Inside the guide

Honest, private and kind. Read it somewhere quiet, with a pen.

01

Why you can't decide

The parts of you pulling in different directions, and why being torn is normal, not weak.

02

Fear, or knowing?

How to tell whether a feeling is coming from panic and exhaustion, or from a deeper truth.

03

The 10 questions

Prompts about what you want, what you'd grieve and what you've outgrown, to journal with.

04

Staying steady meanwhile

Simple body-based practices so you aren't deciding from 3am dread.

From Dee

I'm a therapist and conflict resolution specialist, and I help women in decades-long relationships decide whether to stay or go.

I wrote this guide because so many women carry this question alone for years, too afraid or too loyal to say it out loud. This guide won't tell you what to do. It will help you listen to yourself, which is where every good decision starts.

“It was as if we were given permission to be who we are right now, in the tension of what we’ve walked in and who we choose to become.”

Kat, women's group program
