The Lover's Manual (Free)

The Lover's Manual is a 35-page guide to finding, receiving, and keeping love — without losing yourself along the way. Written by Rebecca Teague, a relational psychotherapist, it blends honest personal essay with the tools she actually uses in the therapy room.

Inside, 5 chapters walk you through:

Before You Ask Love to Find You — making space in your actual life for what you say you want
When Love Brings Your Shit to the Surface — what your triggers are really telling you (and what they're not)
Hold Yourself Before You Reach Outward — self-soothing without hardening into hyper-independence
Let Yourself Need Someone — moving from independence to real interdependence
Learning How to Keep Love — staying in a good thing once you've found it

Each chapter includes:

A "Sound Familiar?" checklist to help you spot the pattern in yourself
A "Try This" exercise you can practice that same week
A "Lover's Check-in" — guided journaling prompts to go deeper on your own

This isn't a five-step formula for love. It's a companion for the real, ongoing work of loving someone, and letting yourself be loved, without disappearing in the process.
