Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual wellness that equips people with the interdisciplinary tools necessary to heal themselves. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what shed 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 SelfHealing as well as 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 recognize 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 behaviors can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell. In How to Do the Work, Dr. LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviors 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 wellness and self-care.

How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self by Nicole LePera is a powerful guide to personal growth and self-healing. Through insightful storytelling and practical exercises, LePera guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, helping them to identify and transform their limiting beliefs, patterns, and behaviors.

LePera begins by introducing the concept of "the shadow self," which is the part of us that we try to hide from ourselves and others. This shadow self is often filled with shame, guilt, and fear, and it can prevent us from living our authentic lives. LePera teaches readers how to embrace their shadow selves, to see them as teachers rather than enemies, and to use them as a source of growth and transformation.

One of the most important tools that LePera teaches readers is how to recognize and change their self-talk. The way we talk to ourselves has a profound impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. LePera helps readers to identify their negative self-talk patterns and to replace them with more positive and empowering ones.

LePera also offers readers a variety of exercises and practices that can help them to heal from their past and create the life they want. These exercises include journaling, meditation, and shadow work. LePera provides clear and detailed instructions for each exercise, making them accessible to readers of all levels.

How to Do the Work is an essential guide for anyone who is ready to take responsibility for their own life and create lasting change. LePera's insights, tools, and exercises can help readers to heal their wounds, transform their limiting beliefs, and create a life that is filled with joy, purpose, and meaning.
