THE KNOWING SELF
presents
This is Human
A gentle invitation to understand yourself more clearly.
Most of us move through life believing something is wrong with us.
We react and then judge ourselves.
We collide and then carry guilt.
We take on stories that were never ours.
Yet underneath every reaction is something that once made sense.
This Is Human is a reflection on what protects us, what shapes us, and what becomes possible when we begin to see clearly.
It isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding what has been driving you.
Because when you understand, you gain choice.
When you gain choice, you lead differently,
and when you lead differently, life begins to feel lighter.
If you’ve ever wanted to:
• stop taking things so personally
• carry less emotional weight
• understand why you react the way you do
• separate what is yours from what isn’t
• lead with more calm and clarity
This guide was created for you.
It’s not complicated, it’s human, and you already have the capacity for it.

What changes when you understand?
When you understand what drives your reactions, you stop turning on yourself.
When you understand what protects others, you stop taking everything personally.
When you understand state, protection, projection, and repair, you move differently in every relationship in your life.
Understanding creates freedom.
Freedom to respond instead of react.
Freedom to carry less.
Freedom to get it wrong and know how to make it right.

Some things you may be wondering…
-
Once you purchase, you’ll receive immediate access to the full written guide and the guided audio experience.
You can move through it at your own pace.
There is no timeline or pressure, just space to reflect, pause, and return as often as you need.This isn’t something you consume once.
It’s something you revisit when you feel reactive, stuck, or unsure. -
The guide is 30+ pages and the audio can be listened to in one sitting, but it’s designed to be moved through slowly. There’s no timeline. You return when you need it.
-
Then you will also realise why.
Understanding replaces shame. and when shame reduces, growth becomes possible. -
This work sits at the intersection of lived experience and psychological insight.
It draws from attachment theory, nervous system science, emotional intelligence, and trauma-informed practice. It is influenced by the work of researchers such as Dr Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory), John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth (Attachment Theory), and Daniel Goleman (Emotional Intelligence).
But this is not an academic manual.
It is the integration of those ideas into everyday relationships, into parenting, partnership, leadership, friendship, and self-reflection.
It is what happens when theory meets real life.
You don’t need to understand the research to benefit from it, you simply need to be willing to look inward.

A Deep Dive is a 60-minute one-to-one conversation focused entirely on you.
You bring a situation, a pattern, or a relationship dynamic that feels charged, repetitive, or confusing. Together, we slow it down and look at what is actually happening underneath.
We explore:
• The state you move into under pressure
• The story you are telling yourself about what it means
• The protection strategy that is showing up
• Where that strategy may have first formed
• What belongs to you, and what does notThis is not therapy, it’s not advice-giving., it’s not about fixing you, it’s about clarity.
You will leave with language for what has been driving your reactions, a clearer understanding of your nervous system patterns, and practical insight into how to lead differently in that dynamic.
Most people walk away feeling lighter and more able to separate their story from reality.
It is accountability without shame, compassion with strength, and space to see yourself clearly.
-
No.
This Is Human is designed to stand on its own.
The guide and audio will already give you language, awareness, and practical reflection tools that most people have never been taught. Many people will experience meaningful shifts simply by moving through the material slowly and honestly.
The Deep Dive Call is there for those who want personalised support.
Sometimes reading about patterns is one thing, seeing your own patterns clearly, in real time, with someone guiding the reflection, is another.
If you feel comfortable exploring on your own, the guide is enough.
If you want someone to help you unpack a specific relationship, trigger, or repeating dynamic, the Deep Dive creates that space.There is no pressure either way, this work is about choice.
