Return, Revisit, Renew: The 3 Rs of Deeper Discovery is a thoughtful, compassionate guide for readers seeking deeper self awareness, emotional clarity, and personal growth through reflection and journaling. Written by psychologist and author Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst, this book builds on the foundation of her earlier work while inviting readers to go further by revisiting past experiences, recognizing emotional patterns, and renewing their relationship with themselves.
Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical experience serving individuals and families in Maryland and Washington, DC, Dr. Vanderhorst blends therapeutic insight with accessible, open ended writing prompts. Rather than following a linear path, readers are encouraged to move through the book in any order, returning to entries as needed and engaging with what resonates in the present moment. Each reflection offers space to explore thoughts and feelings with curiosity, compassion, and intention.
Whether you are processing earlier life experiences, noticing repeating emotional themes, or seeking a gentle structure for ongoing self discovery, Return, Revisit, Renew supports meaningful change without pressure or urgency. The book emphasizes awareness over answers, helping readers strengthen insight, deepen emotional understanding, and create room for renewal over time.

Each entry in Return, Revisit, Renew: The 3 Rs of Deeper Discovery is designed to be approached in any order, allowing readers to begin where their attention naturally rests. Over time, returning to the reflections builds a deeper practice of awareness, insight, and emotional understanding.
You are invited to return to past experiences, familiar emotions, and long held stories with openness rather than judgment. Through thoughtful reflections grounded in Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst’s decades of clinical experience, readers gain perspective on how earlier experiences continue to influence the present.
Guided prompts encourage you to revisit recurring emotional and relational patterns, examine beliefs that may no longer serve you, and explore your inner world with greater clarity. This process supports deeper self awareness and a more compassionate understanding of yourself.
As insight deepens, space opens for renewal. Reflective questions help you consider new ways of responding to thoughts, feelings, and situations, fostering growth, emotional flexibility, and meaningful personal change over time.
Return, Revisit, Renew: The 3 Rs of Deeper Discovery is especially well suited for:
- Adults who want to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their present thoughts, emotions, and relationships
- Individuals noticing recurring emotional or relational patterns and seeking greater self awareness
- Readers interested in reflective journaling as a tool for personal growth and emotional clarity
- Those familiar with therapy, or curious about therapeutic reflection, who want a supportive companion for deeper insight
- Anyone seeking a gentle, non linear approach to self discovery that can be returned to over time
- People drawn to thoughtful, compassionate writing that encourages awareness, renewal, and meaningful change
This book is an inviting and practical companion for anyone on an ongoing journey of reflection and growth, whether you are new to self inquiry or have long practiced mindfulness and emotional exploration.
“Dr. V shares with us her insights on topics from iced tea to art, holidays to hummingbirds, baking to daffodils and invites us to join her in reflection at the same time leaning forward as we write our own thoughts. A very accessible book benefitting individuals and groups. And who knows, maybe even sparking conversation for family conversations!”
“Gloria Vanderhorst drops pearls of wisdom with simply-written stories, just a page or so, that invite the reader to relax and reflect. Don’t let her Ph.D fool you– there’s nothing too heady or academic to the questions she evokes. Her insights seem to stem as much from her learnings from others’ stories (through decades of therapy practice) as they are from her own life. I like to pick it up from beside my bed (and put down my phone!), open to a random page and just chill with it before falling asleep. I highly recommend this!”
“The stories in The 3 Rs of Growth and Change were engaging, and even when I took a break for a while, it was easy to pick it back up and continue at my own pace. The journaling prompts are thoughtful and have made me more reflective about my own journey. It’s my goal to get through all the prompts this year, and I’m excited to see the growth that will come from it. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for something meaningful and easy to dive into whenever you have time.”
“A guided journal that makes you think and explore with interesting stories and prompts. Unlike a blank journal or a self-help book this is an interactive two-way street that helps you go deeper and have a little fun along the way!”
