The Emotional Availability Check
What this is
Emotionally unavailable is usually thrown as an insult. It is far more useful as a question.
Two pages of honest questions about how much of yourself you actually bring into the room, and what happens in you when someone gets close. Answer it on your own first. Then, if you are feeling brave, compare notes.
Inside
What is in it
You walk through five sections: self-awareness, communication, empathy, vulnerability and personal healing. The lowest section gives you one place to begin instead of an unhelpful judgement about the whole relationship.

Who it is for
For the person asking how reachable their feelings are — by themselves first, then by their partner. Complete your own check before you talk about it together; you cannot inspect somebody else’s rooms for them.
