Not your usual self-help book

Dr. Julie nailed it with this book! As a trauma survivor - I vowed to not read self help books but this book normalizes and helps the reader understand different feelings and behaviors and where they stem from! Why hasn’t anyone told you this before? Because no one wanted to tell you that we all have to work on ourselves before we can do anything else.

Explains things perfectly

A very easy to listen to book about anxieties and life challenges. The analogies that she uses are very real life and make things “click”.

Gets right down to it!

Of all the self-help books on healing past traumas, setting boundaries and dealing with toxic patterns from family of origin… This one gets right down to it!

Very helpful

Lots of useful tips. Gives a broad perspective on mental health and how to care for self.

Not Bad

This is probably perfect for some people! It's like a kind counselor cheering you up. I agree that I preferred the IG more in some ways. I found the narrators voice to sound like she was about to burst into tears at any moment and a lot of "general" sentences. Personally I like more "academic style" (Jungian) psychology or Atomic Habits style realistic examples. This felt a lot more like a very long chat from basically the same place of kindness and self love.
