How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self
From Dr. Nicole LePera, creator of "the holistic psychologist"—the online phenomenon with more than two million Instagram followers—comes a revolutionary approach to healing that harnesses the power of the self to produce lasting change.
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 wellness 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 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.
In "How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self," Nicole LePera, a holistic psychotherapist and author, guides readers on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Drawing from her personal experiences and professional expertise, LePera presents a practical and accessible approach to understanding and transforming our inner worlds.
LePera begins by introducing the concept of "the work," which involves facing our inner shadows, acknowledging our patterns, and taking responsibility for our actions. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion as foundational steps in the healing process.
The book is structured around five key principles: awareness, acceptance, love, boundaries, and surrender. Each principle is explored in depth with personal anecdotes, exercises, and reflections to help readers apply the teachings to their own lives.
"How to Do the Work" offers a blend of psychological insights, spiritual wisdom, and practical tools to help readers break free from limiting beliefs, heal from past traumas, and cultivate a deeper connection with their authentic selves.
LePera encourages readers to embrace the journey of self-discovery as an ongoing process, emphasizing that the work is never truly finished. She invites readers to return to the book's principles whenever they feel stuck or challenged, using it as a source of guidance and support on their healing journey.
Overall, "How to Do the Work" is a powerful and transformative guide that empowers readers to take ownership of their lives, heal their inner wounds, and create lasting change from the inside out.
