How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self by Nicole LePera
5.0
Very good book!! Lots of actionable items to move through the healing journey. Very plain language and easily digestible. Really great book and can’t wait to start the workbook companion!
My only complaint is that she mentions intermittent fasting which 1. Is outside her scope and 2. She specifically says at the end of the blurb “but if you’ve ever engaged in restrictive eating patterns this isn’t for you”…. Uhm. Dr Nicole, you know your audience, you know who is reading it. The number of people reading your book who HASN’T engaged in restrictive eating practices is next to none. I think it’s a really easily triggering and slippery slope to disordered eating without proper in person support and I do think that made that piece a bit careless. No other complaints!!!
