Root.

Getting honest about who you already are, underneath who you became to survive.

STAGE ONE
What Root Actually Means

Most people call it finding yourself. Dr. Susan calls it something less comfortable: finding the self you built to survive, and telling the truth about it. Not fixed. Not affirmed away. Named.

WHAT HAPPENS HERE
Naming, Grieving, Reclaiming

Naming the safe self that kept the peace. Grieving the marriage, the identity, the years. Reclaiming the opinions, ambition, and space that shrank along the way.

“They had to come up with a safe self in order to survive childhood.”

DR. SUSAN ALLISON
