Five sections, forty pages, one complete arc:

Name What You're Carrying opens with a safety note and a scope note so nobody mistakes this for therapy, then moves into naming the cord itself: what it's attached to, a readiness check-in scored 0 to 5, a grief inventory that separates what ended from what never got to begin, and permission pages for the reader who isn't ready to move fast.

See the Cord Clearly asks the harder questions. What did this relationship actually give them. What did it cost, and where. The story they keep repeating about what happened, laid out next to what the evidence actually says. Where the cord physically lives in their body, because most of these workbooks skip the body entirely and this one doesn't.

Cut Cleanly is the heart of the product. Readers choose between cutting, loosening, or holding at a distance, then pick from five ritual methods: candle, cord and scissors, written release, water, or breath alone with no tools required. There's a fill-in-the-blank ritual script, a full ritual prep checklist, an unsent letter page, and a page that draws a clean line between release work and revenge, because a workbook like this needs to say plainly that this ritual is not aimed at controlling or punishing another person.

Tend the Cut covers the part everyone forgets to write for: the actual days afterward. Grounding practices, a five-step check before someone reaches out to their ex at 11pm, a boundary-setting page split into practical and energetic categories, a "three real people in your corner" support page, and a seven-day tracker.

What Grows Back handles the layered nature of grief honestly. It includes 30 and 90 day check-ins, a page for recutting the cord when it flares back up (because it does, and that's not failure), a page for reclaiming songs, places, and traditions the reader doesn't have to give up forever, and a completion page that reads like an actual ending instead of a hallmark card.
