582: Dr. Nicole LePera | How to Heal Yourself

When you begin to heal and change, your relationships tend to follow, including with yourself. This was Dr. Nicole LePera’s experience as she found herself frustrated with her work as a therapist. Coming from a background of battling anxiety herself, she knew that she wanted better for herself and her clients, and after going on her own healing journey with the help of research and informed psychology, she began teaching these secrets on social media, creating a community of #selfhealers. She is also the author of the e-book, How to do the Work and the creator of the SelfHealers Circle.
