Exploring Self-Massage Journal Book

A 47-Page Journal: Reflections on Scar Tissue, Lymph, and Numbness 

This interactive journal is designed to support the next stage of healing: reconnecting with your body through gentle self-massage and compassionate awareness.

It offers a private, supportive space to explore common experiences after breast or chest surgery, including scar tissue changes, lymphatic concerns, altered sensation, and numbness. The prompts are designed to help you process emotions, build confidence, and stay grounded as you learn to work with your body in a new way.

This journal can be used alongside the Mastectomy Recovery Companion home-care program or on its own. There is no pressure to complete everything. You’re invited to work with what feels supportive now and return to other sections later.

What You’ll Explore Inside

• Side effects and complications (with calm, supportive reflection)
• Circulatory techniques and warming the tissues with care
• Lymphatic drainage support and lymphedema awareness
• Scar tissue reflection, acceptance, and resilience
• Nerve repair themes and working with numbness over time
• Massage principles to help you feel safe and confident
• A simple “20-minute self-massage recipe” to bring it all together

Throughout the journal, you’ll find:

• Reflective prompts to support emotional safety and clarity
• Affirmations to build confidence and self-trust
• “Challenge checkpoints” to help you stay consistent without pressure
• Free-form creative pages to express feelings beyond words

Format & Access
