The Walls Workbook

Three exercises drawn from the book: a check on where the wall is thickest, a close look at one rescue, and the three questions that close every chapter. Answer for the person you protect first. Then, if you are brave, answer again for yourself.

Exercise one

The Wall Check

Twenty-one statements, three for each stage of the NINEVEH framework. Rate how often each one is true. The result is not a diagnosis; it is a map of which chapter to read first.

Your map

Answer the statements above and the map draws itself.

Exercise two

Whose discomfort am I trying to make disappear?

Pick one rescue from the last month. A call made, a bill paid, a story smoothed over, a consequence quietly absorbed. Small ones work best; they are the honest ones.

The book's test: if the relief you felt arrived faster than theirs, the rescue was for you.
It cost money
It cost time or sleep
It cost trust or truth
Exercise three

The three questions

Every chapter ends with three questions, and one of them always turns back toward the reader. They are gathered here so you can keep your answers in one place as you read. Open a chapter, write, close it; the page keeps count.
