Who it's for
Anyone working in the sex industry who is dealing with understanding mental health and burnout & exhaustion, whether that's new for you or something you've been carrying for a while. You don't need any background in psychology to use this workbook.
How to use it
Work through it at your own pace, in whatever order makes sense to you. Skip anything that doesn't fit, and come back to it when you need it.
Like everything on this site, it's written for sex workers, by someone who has done the work, and it never asks you to justify your choices or consider quitting.
