What's inside

Five signs you might recognize — and a short journaling prompt after each.

Five questions you can sit with, not score yourself on. You'll know which signs land in your gut before you finish reading.

A self-diagnostic, not a quiz

Not a productivity coach, not a wellness influencer. The framing comes from clinical work with high-functioning adults who feel quietly off.

Written by a therapist

Each section ends with one short journaling question. So you actually do something with it instead of reading and moving on.

A prompt after every sign

Short on purpose. Long enough to land, short enough to actually finish on your lunch break.
