Publisher's summary

As a clinical psychologist, Dr Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual health that equips people with the interdisciplinary tools necessary to heal themselves. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what she'd learned with others—and soon The Holistic Psychologist was born.

Now Dr LePera is ready to share her much-requested protocol with the world. In How to Do the Work, she offers both a manifesto for self-healing and an essential guide to creating a more vibrant, authentic and joyful life. Drawing on the latest research from a diversity of scientific fields and healing modalities, Dr LePera helps us recognise how adverse experiences and trauma in childhood live with us, resulting in whole body dysfunction—activating harmful stress responses that keep us stuck engaging in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity and trauma bonds. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviours can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled and unwell.

In How to Do the Work, Dr LePera offers listeners the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviours to reclaim and recreate their lives. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, this is a celebration of empowerment that will forever change the way we approach mental health and self-care.

How to heal guide....

In my case, it was a guide that brought all the knowledge I was acquiring over last year's.
I ended up again in a narcissistic relationship. Now I know it was due to me growing up with a wonderful, very talented mother who suffered from schizophrenia and suicide herself as a result.

I had many others very traumatic experiences but I wanted to find a way to relieve the iner pain and live and create a happy, peaceful life.
I wanted to be able to recognize the triggers and manage them whenever the anxiety and pain was arriving.

Self-observation, reading, learning more and more. Self-evaluation, self-healing.... this book combined it all!!!

Now I see how important the 5 years of our childhood are and how it shapes our beliefs, personality, and future choices.

How empowering to know we can reprogram our inner beliefs, work on our subconscious level and live a happy life enlightened and in a harmony with ourselves, nature and others.

My energy goes to all of you who feel the need to connect again with the inner, bright light we all have in us.

My experience in a book

Thank you Dr Nicole LePera. So much of this book sounded like it was written just for me. So glad I finally got to listen to this book that was strongly recommended by my psychologist. Definitely going to listen to it again. The struggle is difficult but the notion that you have to do the work every single day is a reminder to keep taking control, build self trust and not give up.

The most life changing book for self healing

This book is everything I thought it would be and more! The practice guide at the end of each chapter ties in beautifully with Nicole's FSJ practice.

Opened Many Doors for Me

This book has been the grounding to me exploring so much more with other books too such as 'The Body Keeps Score'. I am healthier, I am wholer, I have less anxiety, I am more understanding and I am happier.

Mind Blowing 🤯 + Soul Evolving 🌀

I have always been a Dr Nicole fan and didn’t hesitate to buy her first book. It’s so insightful and makes difficult teachings easy to grasp. I plan to use it when I teach my own online course on Healing Your Inner Child & Reparenting, as well as Befriending Your Ego.

I would recommend this book to my therapy clients, friends and family looking for authentic connection with themselves and their Lives.
Just love love love ❤️ ❤️❤️
