Dr. Nicole LePera is very popular on social media (like 8 million IG followers?? which feels insane) I wanted to read this to understand more of what people seeking her work are learning.  She covers core therapeutic content about attachment theory, neurobiology, boundaries, etc. -  a decent overview and I would say very informative for people new to these concepts. While I do think it is important to consider a holistic approach and the mind/body/soul connection LePera does this is a way that feels more mystical than grounded in science, spirituality, or reality, even. Many people are wondering "how to do the work" so the branding of this messaging is certainly compelling. However, I do not think the book fully addresses this question (as there is no "one size fits all" answer). There are journal prompts at the end of each chapter but they felt short-sighted and lacking context. This book is not a replacement for therapy or other forms of relational support needed for healing, though the book does represent itself as such, even discouraging talk therapy to some extent. Bottom line - there is some helpful content and some not-so-helpful content and I think this book & its themes are best used as a complement to other forms of healing & growth. Probably would not recommend.
