About Lily Mindwell

Lily Mindwell is the author of three self-help workbooks: one about the wounds that come from childhood, one about attachment styles, one for couples who have stopped understanding each other. She studied psychology and worked in counseling, and she came to both because of what she carried herself. Born in New York City in 1989, she grew up with books everywhere and, through her school years, with anxiety and low self-esteem that nobody around her could see.

Counseling taught her that a pattern in a textbook looks very different when it is sitting across the table from you. When she wanted to reach more people than one room could hold, she began to write. Her subjects are self-acceptance, resilience and the small, ordinary joys that a hard past makes easy to miss. On the blog she works out what the books cannot fit.

Anxious, Avoidant, and Fearful Attachment Recovery Workbook

Anxious, Avoidant, and Fearful Attachment Recovery Workbook starts with a quiz that tells you your primary and your secondary attachment style, then works on each one: somatic tools and a “pause before you text” checklist for the anxious heart, a ladder of small acts of vulnerability for the avoidant shield, a triggers and glimmers tracker for the fearful-avoidant dance. CBT thought records, secure check-in scripts and a partner vetting list close the book. The exercises take ten to fifteen minutes a day.

Love and Relationship Workbook for Couples

Love and Relationship Workbook for Couples is for two people who feel more like roommates than lovers and want the way back. Twenty-five exercises to do together at the kitchen table, drawn from the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy and attachment theory: memory prompts and value-sorting cards, guided dialogues with an active-listening stopwatch, scripts that turn attack and defend into “us against the problem”, a vision-board weekend and the hold-me-tight dialogue. Most take twenty minutes.

Healing Your Childhood Wounds Workbook

Healing Your Childhood Wounds Workbook is for the adult who still asks “why am I like this”. More than a hundred exercises, journaling prompts and grounding tools, built on cognitive behavioural therapy, parts work and somatic grounding: self-inventories to meet your inner child, five-minute resets for a panic or a conflict, timelines and body scans that link early experiences to today’s triggers, CBT charts, reparenting scripts and letters to your younger self, boundaries without the shame spiral. Safety first, then understanding, then change.

    Contempt in Relationships: The Eye Roll That Predicts the Ending

    It is not the shouting that does the damage. You have both survived shouting. It is the moment after. You say something, and your partner’s upper lip curls slightly. Or their eyes drift to the ceiling. Or they repeat your words back in a small mocking voice. Something in your chest folds up. You cannot…
