Distance Between Us: Shadow Work
A Guided Workbook for Shadow Work & Integration
You can't get rid of your Bodyguard. But you can thank him — and lead.
The Distance Between Us: Shadow Work is a guided workbook for anyone ready to stop fighting their protective patterns and start understanding them. Through reflective prompts, powerful exercises, and compassionate guidance, this workbook gives you the map and the language to finally work with your Bodyguard instead of against him.
This is deeper, slower work for readers ready to go beneath the surface — the protective pattern you built, and how you learned to earn love.
- Identify your Bodyguard's signals and understand what he's protecting
- Explore the Love Ledger and close old emotional accounts
- Heal childhood wounds and meet your Inner Child with compassion
- Step out of over-responsibility and into healthy partnering
- Define your values, build boundaries, and choose forward motion
- Create a new legacy — one of love, clarity, and self-trust
You can't get rid of your Bodyguard. But you can thank him — and lead.
Written by Certified Life Coach and author Katerina Markadakis, founder of Harbor Point Press and Distance Between Us Coaching, this workbook blends trauma-informed insight with practical exercises. It guides you through the patterns that formed to keep you safe — the Bodyguard, the Love Ledger, the roles you learned to play — so you can understand them instead of being run by them.
"You can't get rid of your Bodyguard. But you can thank him — and lead."
