Publisher's Synopsis
This journal gives a young person's self-doubts, fears, concerns, and worries a place to go. By journaling and working through these negative thoughts and emotions, children learn to be free... free from thinking they are not enough... free to be who they are, as they are! This book works with a simple metaphor of 'rocks' that roll in and accumulate over time to cover a child's inner light. It walks the child through a six step process that teaches him/her how to identify their own personal rocks, how to work with those rocks (remove or manage), and how to grow into self-acceptance and gratitude. The book has over 90 'blank' pages for journaling, each with a unique affirmation at the bottom such as "I am radiant" or "My heart is open and I am safe." The book is designed for children ages 9 to 19, but really can be used by anybody who wishes to release old limiting thoughts in order to step into self-acceptance. "Dory's healing approach and the process in You Matter are wildly simple and powerfully gentle. Like a warm grandmother hug this book helps to calm, direct and open a child to their innate worth. Dory lives the message of self acceptance and has effectively taught her own children. Dory's embodied lived wisdom is felt on each page and in the words she has written. I highly recommend any parent or person who helps children to utilize this amazing book." - Barbra White M.A, Di.hom. Creator of Self Acceptance Process and best selling author.
