#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
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 readers 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.

A new way to conceptualize Trauma
I was hesitant in providing a review but this book truly is a gem, in the sense that it will certainly change the field of mental health for the better. Curious to follow Dr Nicole LePera and her work, I couldn’t help but feel connected but also highly skeptical. As a clinically and research trained Psychologist, the deep rooted skepticism of new theories is inevitable: “but this isn’t what we were taught exactly” and “well how do we change the way conceptualize trauma from what we’ve learned and is it evidenced based?” and many other questions arose. Even my colleagues rolled their eyes when I mentioned it and repeated phrases such as “it’s just a fad, it strays from traditional practices.” And those responses…only lured me deeper into wanting to better understanding Nicole’s perspective.I bought the book. I began reading and felt who I am personally, while setting aside who I am professionally, naturally gravitate and feel seen within the content in this book. Nicole does a profoundly eloquent job in highlighting what many of us professionals struggle to conjure up for our patients. She bravely redefines Trauma and challenges old ideas to incorporate new thought in relation to current times. Trauma is real, it remains poorly understood and many people experience it. Nicole offers a new lens to conceptualize.Transparency is a key component of being a good therapist. For me, this book allowed me to reconnect with my own theories of trauma, Core beliefs, self-regulation, and attachment. It’s rare for doctoral programs to redirect self-conceptualization to the doctoral trainee. “Becoming self-aware” is not in their curriculum. It’s “focus on the patient, follow traditional theories, be ethical etc.” but never once do they look to the student and ask “how self-aware are you in your own trauma and how do you think this will impact your work as a therapist?” And I resonated with Nicole’s take on being a doctoral student and feeling lost in the overachieving, performance driven and “follow the protocol” energy of therapist. And it’s tiring so much so that we are bound to lose ourselves before we have a chance to ever find it- let alone- help to find themselves too.Nicole writes this book for many kinds of readers which is beyond helpful and powerful. More people can finally understand what’s going on with feeling disconnected from the self and learn ways to feel more connected. I think I am able to finally view my own vulnerabilities more clearly and allow myself to cultivate them into strengths that will translate into better helping my patients.This book will undoubtedly be a staple in the way I conceptualize who I am both personally and professionally. Thank you LePera. You’re creating a new wave of thought, a powerful way of treating the self, and redefining what it means to heal. And to my colleagues, it’s not a fad, just tap in and see for yourself.

Amazing!!!
As a holistic psychotherapist and integrative nutrition health and wellness coach who specializes in the treatment of trauma and PTSD, I can tell you this book is an incredible resource and road map for those wanting to do the inner work and create a life of meaning and fulfillment. I’m confused to see a few other therapists’ negative reviews of this book because there’s so much insight and valuable information in it. I also follow this author on social media and YouTube and she breaks common struggles down in such a simplified way that everyone can understand how to change it within themselves. This author is doing groundbreaking work! As a therapist, I highly recommend this book to my clients who have gotten nothing but great results from reading it and from doing the inner work to transform our pain and grow from it. From my perspective, as therapists we should celebrate every piece of work written by people who are doing their own healing work, as this author is, and who contribute to the body of work in the healing arts.

The perfect roadmap for healing
I saw myself and my family throughout the pages of this remarkable book. I’ve spent years doing “the work” without having a roadmap.This book would have saved me so much time, energy and money had it existed 35 years ago when I started my emotional healing journey.Reading it allowed me to see how far I’ve come and reflect back on those moments when my internal guidance system pointed me in the right direction through relationships, synchronicities and life experiences. Each of those circumstances were a gift, but it took so much longer for me to find my footing and really begin to live my life than it would have had this book been available back then.If you’re struggling with your life and emotions read this. If you’re a member of a family that’s struggling with each other despite the love, read this. If you’re partnered with someone that’s struggling, read this.I will recommend How to Do the Work to everyone I know that needs a roadmap for the sake of their wellbeing and happiness.

Absolutely loved this book! It gave me a whole new picture of how different our life can be if we change our perspective! It helped me heal some of my biggest traumas as well!

The value of this book depends a lot on who is reading it and what moment of their life they are in. I am happy that it helped me a lot. At some point it became a bit unnecessary. But then I gifted it to someone who I thought needed it. I don’t know if they will ever think it could be useful, I just hope they remember this book is around if they ever need it.

Eye-opening, heartwarming and sometimes very uncomfortable in a good way. A book to return to as you evolve. Loved it.

This is a beautifully written, and highly insightful book. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Not only does it contain a lot of really useful information about how to work with and work through past traumas, but there are numerous tools that can easily and quickly be put into practice. Dr Nicole Lepera speaks from her own experience and that shines through in her writing. Initially, I discovered Dr Lepera via the YouTube channel The Holistic Psychogist, and I was so impressed with what I saw and heard that I decided to order her book. It’s a true balm for the soul and I’m certain many, many people will be hugely benefitted from reading it.
