Between You And You: A Journal of Becoming

Between You and You: A Journal of Becoming is a reflective memoir and guided inner journal that invites readers into the quiet, often unspoken conversations that shape who we become. Written by licensed mental health counselor Jamilla L. Howard, this book weaves personal storytelling with emotional insight to create a space for honesty, self-awareness, and healing. Through vivid and intimate memories from childhood ruptures and family dynamics to love, loss, identity, and resilience, Howard explores how our earliest experiences continue to live inside us. Each chapter unfolds as a story followed by a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and listen inward, offering readers the opportunity to reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been overlooked or silenced. This is not a clinical workbook or a step-by-step self-help guide. It is a companion for readers who are ready to slow down, sit with their own truths, and make sense of the moments that shaped their emotional world. The reflections are rooted in therapeutic understanding but presented in accessible, human language that feels more like a conversation than a lesson. Between You and You is for anyone navigating growth, healing, or transition, and for those who sense that becoming is not about fixing what is broken, but about remembering who they have always been. Because the most meaningful conversation you will ever have is not with the world, but the one you have with yourself.
