Love by Dr. Katina: Thirty Days to Know Yourself So You Can Love More Deeply and Be Loved More Fully Hardcover – February 11, 2026

Love by Dr. Katina is a guided thirty-day journal for anyone who wants to understand themselves more deeply so they can love more intentionally and be loved more fully.Before we choose partners, we bring ourselves into relationships—our histories, emotional patterns, expectations, habits, and unspoken needs. Many people move toward love without ever pausing to examine what shapes the way they connect, protect themselves, or respond when closeness feels vulnerable.This journal is an invitation to pause.Over thirty reflective writing days, you will be guided to explore:The emotional patterns you bring into relationshipsWhere your needs were formed, and how they show up nowHow you respond to closeness, distance, and conflictThe stories you tell yourself about love and connectionWhat you have tolerated, what you are ready to release, and what you truly needHow to become emotionally ready for healthier, more grounded loveEach writing day includes a short reflection, three stand-alone journal prompts, and an affirmation designed to support insight, clarity, and emotional maturity. The journal follows a five-day writing rhythm each week, allowing space for rest, integration, and real life.This book is for:Individuals preparing for a relationshipPeople in current relationships who want to deepen self-understandingThose who want to work on themselves outside of counselingAnyone seeking clarity about how they love and what they needWritten by a licensed therapist, social psychologist, and relationship coach, Love by Dr. Katina is not therapy, but it is intentional, thoughtful, and grounded in deep respect for the inner work required to love well.This is not about perfection.It is about clarity.It is about understanding yourself well enough to choose differently, love differently, and show up with honesty and care.Pull up a chair.This is where the work begins.
