How to Do the Work

Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self

De: Dr. Nicole LePera

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

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 listeners 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.

Overall good information but

Sometimes the author went way too far with the personal anecdotes, even naming an ex girlfriend who cheated on her with a mutual friend. Also that her sister shared something told in confidence with family members. This book has helpful information and practices but I can’t help but wonder if the author was being petty in the name of “healing” as a means to humiliate people who hurt her.

Heart, Eyes and Soul were opened!

This book was suggested to me by my therapist and I begrudgingly agreed to listen to it. I JUST finished it and will start it again tomorrow because there is just SO much to unpack here. I promise that this book will open your eyes to things you never even thought could be holding you back from being your authentic self. Bravo Dr. LePera….thank you for being brave enough to share your story and bring so much insight to others.

Beneficial for Everyone!

Anyone who had a childhood belongs reading this book whether it was healthy or unhealthy. It seems the content contains all the latest breaking research as well as the foundations of Psychology and Mind+Body Wellness written in a format that the listener/reader can readily grasp and then make practical application of. Boundaries are clearly explained as well as how to set them. Very Valuable information for anyone looking to improve themselves and their relationships.

Highly recommended

I really enjoyed listening to this book because of the combination of practical advice mixed with science backed info. I've read and listened to a lot of self healing books and this is one that I actually finished instead of stopping half or three quarters of the way through. I also very much enjoy Dr. Nicole's TikToks that clearly show the impact of parenting with emotional immaturity... which always encourages me to continue on my healing journey, not only for my relationship with myself, but my relationships with my children and all others really. Great book!

Real therapeutic work!

I've been following Nichole's work on YouTube. She articulated so well the truth of what this work looks like. As a therapist, this will be a recommended reading for my clients.

Thearpy for the soul

This book took me on a childhood journey that brought on an understanding of what happened to me. A must read for the healers of the world

An essential read for inner work. Loved it!

Loved it. Extremely relatable in every way. I'm now experiencing my inner child. Thank you!

Revealing and eye-opening!

I never imagined I could learn so much from a single book. I learned so much of myself in such a short amount of time. wish I had gotten this book sooner.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this audiobook, it brought so many new things to perspective. Highly recommend!

Packed with goodness

Definitely going to have to go back through and listen again to this golden goodness. It’s packed FULL of helpful tips and insight, I already know I missed some during the first listen through. I highly recommend this book to everyone and anyone looking to make any kind of positive changes or with help healing.
