No one tells you that becoming a parent can feel like losing yourself while gaining the most important thing in the world. This clinician-designed journal creates space for the raw, honest, complicated emotional experience of new parenthood — beyond the Instagram version.
Designed by Stephen Velasquez, MBA, MSW, LCSW — a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of clinical experience — this 100-page guided journal draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment theory, narrative therapy, self-compassion, somatic awareness, and values-based exercises.
What's Inside
- 40 clinician-designed prompts that go beyond surface-level journaling
- 100 pages of structured, evidence-based content
- 8 weekly themes with reflection checkpoints covering identity, bonding, body, sleep, relationships, and more
- Instant PDF download — start today, print at home or use on any device
What You'll Explore
Forty guided prompts organized across the key dimensions of new-parent emotional experience: The Identity Shift (who you were before, who you are becoming), Bonding and Connection (the real, imperfect version), The Body You Live In Now (physical recovery and body changes), Sleep, Survival, and Self-Care (being honest about what you need), Relationships in Transition (how everything shifts), and more.
Sample Prompts
Who I Was Before, The Moment It Became Real, The Name No One Uses Anymore, What I Expected vs. What I Got, and A Letter to My Pre-Parent Self
Who This Journal Is For
This journal is for new parents — mothers, fathers, adoptive parents, any gender — in the first two years of parenthood who need a space to be honest about how hard and beautiful and confusing this is.
Whether you use it on your own, alongside therapy, or as a gift for someone who could use support — this journal meets you where you are.
