Status Updates From How to Do the Work: Recogni...

So glad I decided to start this book!

heard there is some discourse about the author?
been listening to it on Audio and taking things w a grain of salt. as I think everyone should do with these self help type books. taking tidbits to better understand my pts and given them strategies as well.
book intros about how sometimes a therapy sessions aren't enough and the work you can do on the outside of them to get to a better place.

i read the introduction/ “the primer” to how to do the work and i honestly resonated with that feeling of being “stuck”. i’m told i have a lot of insight, yet i follow these patterns of disruption.

J’adore!

Auto returned by Libby. Need to place a hold again.

So far it’s very good!

Intriguing

Listening as an audiobook. She highlights some of my favorite books and includes relatable content

You do not need to be a reflection of their unprocessed trauma.

Can’t stop won’t stop. Hooked.

Amazing. One of the best self-help-esque books I’ve ever read. It was assigned for my 300 hr Yoga Teacher Training and I found myself highlighting like crazy. I went through 2 highlighters in fact. It also acknowledged openly the differences in experience for BIPOC folks.

Subtly encouraging people to go off meds in the first few pages of a book is craaazy. I understand the point she was trying to make tho so I’m gonna give the benefit of the doubt and keep reading

I’m like giddy with excitement after just reading the preface

I’m actually impressed by this book. Now I want to have it physically. 👏🏻

restarting this book ✨💫

So far, really nice!

if you see me reading this mind your business 😅

about half of this is good and the other half is extremely narcissistic

I listened to the Audiobook

I love this book but I can only do the work for like 30 minutes a day. Slow and steady

Sounds decent enough. But not in the mood for this now.

God i love this book. I don’t even need to finish reading it to give it 5 stars.

You think you understand yourself and then another self help book proves you wrong lol

How does she put exactly my internal process on to the page?!? Amazing.

Alright this is hurting my feelings a little bit

It shines the light on the part of our mind that wants to hide. Really painful but beautiful.

Switched to audio bc it was available at Libby - it’s incredible. So motivating and inspiring. I want to change my life LOL

Good
