FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Have you ever looked at your life and thought : How did I get here?
The Life Line is a guided self-discovery exercise that helps you lay your whole life out in one place from the day you were born to right now, and see the patterns, connections, and moments you didn't know were shaping you.
It sounds simple. It goes deep.

WHAT'S INSIDE — 7 PAGES:
Draw Your Line
You draw a squiggle. That's it. No rules, no right way.
Page 2 — Fill It All In
This is where it gets interesting. You mark everything: people who mattered, first jobs, pets, places you lived, fears you carried, things you loved, big dates, seasons that changed you. The more you add, the more you'll see. You'll be surprised what correlates.
Page 3 Going Deeper
Guided prompts rooted in Gestalt psychology and somatic awareness help you explore your two selves (most alive vs. most lost), name what still feels unfinished, check in with your body, and come gently back to the present moment.
And more.

THIS WORKSHEET IS FOR YOU IF:
✦ You're in therapy and want a tool to bring to your next session
✦ You're a therapist or counselor looking for intake or exploratory exercises
✦ You teach psychology, counseling, or personal development
✦ You're going through a transition and trying to make sense of your story
✦ You're just curious… and you have a pen or marker or…paint?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT:
Most self-help worksheets tell you what to think. This one just asks you to look. The prompts are grounded in real therapeutic frameworks : Gestalt psychology, somatic awareness, polarity work, but written in plain human language. No jargon. No wrong answers. Just you and your story.

A NOTE FROM THE CREATOR:
I made this because I needed it. I've worked with people in some of the hardest seasons of their lives. People navigating housing instability, addiction, health crises, starting over. Again and again I watched people discover something about themselves when they finally got to lay it all out and look at it. This worksheet is a way to give that experience to more people. I hope it shows you something that surprises you.
