From James Hollis, author of Letters to My Younger Self and The Geometry of Moving On
Not every letter is meant to be sent. Some are meant to be written-for you, and you alone.
LETTERS TO THE ONE WHO HURT YOU is a gentle, guided workbook for anyone carrying the weight of old wounds. Whether you're struggling with a parent who wasn't there, a partner who left, a friend who betrayed you, or someone whose name you rarely speak-this book offers a safe space to write what you've needed to say.
No pressure to send. No pressure to forgive. Just permission to write.
Inside you'll find 8 guided letter-writing sessions, each addressing a different kind of hurt:
• To the parent who wasn't there
• To the one who left
• To the one who betrayed me
• To the one who taught me shame
• To the one who couldn't love me back
• To the one I'm still angry at
• To the one I've forgiven (or want to)
• To the one who hurt me that I never talk about
Each session includes:
• A gentle theme reminder
• A quote to sit with
• 5 writing prompts to guide you
• Generous space to write your letter
• A closing word of reassurance
Your words are safe here. No one will read them but you.
