Read an Excerpt From The Book
A short reflection from The Penny Model – Revised on how we learn to protect ourselves — and how what once kept us safe can later feel heavy to carry.

Just as armour protected warriors in battle, we too can develop emotional armour.
This metaphor reminds us that the strategies which once kept us safe can later become the weight we carry.
The Penny Model offers a compassionate way to understand that weight — and begin to release it.
“We learn to protect ourselves… one penny at a time.”
