Coming Home: the journey back to myself
Coming Home: the journey back to myself
Coming Home: The Journey Back to Myself is a soul-stirring memoir about inner healing, reclaiming self-trust, and the radical act of returning home to yourself. Catherine Quiring weaves personal stories with cultural critique, offering a powerful roadmap for those who have been taught to abandon themselves in order to belong.
Raised in authoritarian Christianity and shaped by the demands of ableist meritocracy, Catherine lost touch with her body, desires, and inner knowing. But through self-compassion, somatic reconnection, and Internal Family Systems therapy, she found her way home—to her intuition, her neurodiversity, and her full humanity.
This is a story of learning to listen with compassion to every part of ourselves—especially the messy, emotional, and buried ones—and realizing they were never the enemy. With curiosity, compassion, and wisdom, Catherine charts a path toward embodied aliveness and inner harmony.
If you've ever felt like you had to hollow yourself out to be good, successful, or loved, this book invites you to unlearn that story—and write a new one rooted in self-trust.

Self-Trust Journal
Self-Trust Journal
Self-trust is a foundational part of healing and soul care. It has been the bedrock of my own healing, and has become my passion to share with others. This journal is my effort to provide a container for you to deepen your self-knowing and self-trust.
I have included guided prompts on each page. Use the prompts when they speak to you, and ignore them when you have something else to write. Skip around as much as you like, or follow them in order. You are in charge.
Writing is one of the best ways I know to dip down into your inner world, to be present with yourself and do this soul work. I hope this writing container enables you to come home to yourself and trust yourself even more. I hope it enhances your self-knowing, self-love, self-trust, self-advocacy, and self-agency.
