Dr. Nicole LePera is known to her 1.7M Instagram followers as “the holistic psychologist.” Dr. LePera shares the one-of-a-kind program that she developed for herself and her clients, giving readers a road map for not only healing unresolved wounds, but also living a vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. How to Do The Work aims to empower readers with a deeply practical, radically holistic model of therapy that will help them identify the integral role daily choices play in creating lasting change. Drawing on the latest research in epigenetics, the microbiome, and polyvagal theory, among other research, Dr. LePera helps readers recognize adverse experiences and trauma that have resulted in emotional dysfunction—including damaging patterns like codependency, emotional insecurity, unhealthy boundaries, and trauma bonds. These are the kinds of self-sabotaging behaviors that become cyclical, creating periods of stagnation or unhappiness in life that people often experience as an overall sense of unhappiness or being “stuck.”
