Relationship skills, built with therapists

Why do you keep repeating the same relationship patterns?

Understand yourself, build the relationship skills no one taught you, and make more meaningful connections with Walnut.

How it works

Daily exercises are free forever. iPhone and Android.

Relationships don't come with instructions

Most of us learnt how to love from what we saw growing up. Some of it helps. Some of it keeps us stuck.

Chapter 1

Overthinking every text

Reading into the gap between messages until 2am.

Learn to manage uncertainty without spiralling

Chapter 2

Saying yes when you mean no

Keeping the peace, losing yourself.

Set boundaries without feeling guilty

Chapter 3

The same argument again

Different day, same ending.

Break the cycle and communicate differently

Chapter 4

Choosing the same kind of person

Sometimes what feels familiar can influence who we choose, even when the relationship isn't good for us.

Recognise what you need, not just what's familiar
