Know Yourself - Printable Guided Journal

Know Yourself is a guided journal for exploring who you’ve been, who you are, and what has shaped your sense of self. Through gentle, therapist-written prompts, this journal offers space to reflect on identity, values, strengths, and boundaries — without pressure to fix or redefine yourself.

This is a place for curiosity, not conclusions.
