The Hulp to Hope Workbook
Â
A free 18-page workbook with poems, prompts and practices for the moments when "fine" stops working.
 In this workbook you'll find:
→ A new word for an old feeling. Hulp - a howl and gulp combined - and what to do when it happens.
→ Original poems with audio recordings, so you can listen as well as read.
→ The Hulp to Hope framework, the map I use with everyone I work with.
→ Six reflection exercises including a "Shoulds" letter, a permission letter, and your own Hope Statement (based on C.R. Snyder's Hope Theory).
→ A wheel of feelings to help you name what's actually going on underneath.
→ One thing you'll actually remember when you need it again - a portmanteau poem, a permission letter, or a hope statement that fits your hand.

In this workshop, you'll create language...
There's a loneliness that comes with breaking patterns. You've been experiencing something but haven't had words for it. In this workbook, you'll create language that captures what happens when you swallow your truth. When you can name it, you can own it, and when you own it - you can change it.Â

Â
A Framework for What Comes Next
You'll map your path from hulp to hope using evidence-based components: a clear goal, your existing agency, and specific next steps. This is about having something concrete to return to when hopelessness hits.Â
Built on Hope Theory.
The workbook includes a Hope Statement exercise based on C.R. Snyder's Hope Theory - the evidence-based model that defines hope as a clear goal, a sense of agency, and visible next steps. You'll build your own.

One Tool That Actually Fits Your Hand
Poetry gives voice to what your heart knows but your head keeps "should-ing" away. Through focused writing exercises, you'll identify which specific need is underneath your isolation right now—and you'll have one practice (your permission letter, your hope statement, or your portmanteau poem) that you'll actually remember when you need it.

HEY, I'M JACKY
Therapist and performance poet (MSc Addiction Psychology, MBACP). I've guided hundreds through the hardest part of breaking patterns: the isolation that makes you doubt whether continuing is worth it.
The HULP to HOPE Blueprint is what I wished I'd had when I was in it. Poetry combined with clinical frameworks — for the moments when traditional approaches don't quite reach.
