What is The Adult Chair?
The Adult Chair isn’t just a book.
It’s a new way of understanding why you react the way you do — and how to finally change it.
Through the lens of three internal chairs — the Child, the Adolescent, and the Adult — you’ll begin to see how early experiences shape your thoughts, reactions, and relationships.
This isn’t about reliving the past.
It’s about learning how to respond from your strongest, wisest self — your Adult Chair.
Why this approach works
With Michelle’s five pillars of healthy adult living, you’ll learn how to:
quiet the voice of self-criticism
release old patterns of self-doubt
interrupt reactive patterns before they take over
This work isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding how you adapted — and learning how to respond differently moving forward.
The Adult Chair is the guide we all needed growing up.
And it’s here to help you move from stuck and overwhelmed to grounded, confident, and self-trusting.
“An excellent ‘how to act like an adult’ manual that would assist anyone looking to shelve self-doubt, handle triggers, relinquish grudges, and learn self-compassion.”
— Library Journal
