What’s Inside
21 Original Drawings
The book includes 21 hand-drawn illustrations, each connected to a specific emotional theme.
The drawings are designed to support emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and embodied self-expression.
This is not about artistic performance or perfection — it is about presence, sensation, and allowing emotion to move through color.
Reflection by Topic
Each drawing is accompanied by three reflection questions related to the emotional theme of that page.
These questions help you explore:
how self-control shows up in your daily life
how emotions are held in your body
patterns of suppression, regulation, and expression
The reflections are invitations, not demands. You move at your own pace.
Journaling Integration
After each topic, you’ll find a dedicated journaling reflection.
This space allows you to:
integrate insights from the colouring process
put words to sensations, emotions, and realizations
deepen self-understanding through writing
This step supports the transition from awareness into conscious self-regulation.
