Freedom Within · the workbook

Sixty pages you can type into, lock, and keep to yourself.

Every pen-and-paper page from the book, in one file. Type straight into it on a laptop or tablet, or print it and use a pen. Free, and yours.

Freedom Within by Claire Boshoff
Why it is a file and not a notebook

Because somebody else might read a notebook.

This workbook asks you to write things you may not want another living soul to read. That is not paranoia, and you are not being dramatic. It is the most common reason women stop doing this work.

A mother who goes through drawers. A daughter who finds a notebook and draws in it. A partner who reads over a shoulder. So the first page inside is not an exercise. It shows you how to password-lock the file, what to rename it, and where to keep it.

Dull is the whole point. People who snoop look where things look interesting.
What is inside

Sixty pages

Part one
Why you are quiet

Nine pages of noticing. The sentence you did not say, the shape you took instead, the four rooms, and what the silence has cost.

Part two
Where it came from

Six pages on the body that learned this. Your early sign, the belief underneath, and the fourth voice.

Part three
The ten steps

One page for each step, with its own exercise, from steadying the body to expecting to fall back.

The twenty-one days
A page a morning

Every one of the twenty-one mornings, each with a full page to write on.

On one card
The ten steps in your words

For the fridge. The page you go back to on a bad day.

The last page
Your permission slip

I, ______, give myself permission to. Signed, and kept where you will see it.

No cost, no email, no list

Just take it.

You do not have to give me your address to do this work. If you want me walking it with you, the twenty-one days are there too.

PDF, 1.6 MB. Open it in Preview, Files, or Adobe Acrobat Reader. Not Apple Books, which will let you read it and quietly throw away everything you type.
