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. That’s a direct Didion quote, but LePera doesn’t credit Didion. In opening her chapter called The Power of Belief LePera writes, It’s been said that we tell ourselves stories in order to live. In How to Do the Work, Dr LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviours to reclaim and recreate their lives. LePera’s How to do the Work calls for the same, but with more words and with a little more guidance. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviours can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell. 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. 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. Now Dr LePera is ready to share her much-requested protocol with the world. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what she'd learned with others - and soon The Holistic Psychologist was born. LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviors to reclaim and recreate their lives.

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. As a clinical psychologist, Dr Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy.
