How to do the work: Recognize your patterns, heal from your past + create your self

From Dr. Nicole LePera, creator of "the holistic psychologist" with over two million Instagram followers, comes a groundbreaking approach to healing that empowers individuals to create lasting change. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy, Dr. LePera embarked on a journey to develop a unified philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health, equipping people with interdisciplinary tools for self-healing. After experiencing transformative results herself, she began sharing her insights, leading to the birth of "The Holistic Psychologist." In this essential guide, Dr. LePera presents a manifesto for self-healing and a roadmap to a more vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. Drawing on diverse scientific research and healing modalities, she illustrates how adverse childhood experiences and trauma manifest in our lives, leading to whole-body dysfunction and harmful stress responses. These unresolved issues often result in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds, creating cycles of self-sabotage that leave people feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. Dr. LePera provides the support and tools necessary to break free from these destructive behaviors, empowering readers to reclaim and recreate their lives. This work represents a paradigm shift, celebrating empowerment and transforming our approach to mental health and self-care.
