About this listen

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 health 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 self-healing and 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 recognise 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 behaviours can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled and unwell.

In How to Do the Work, Dr LePera offers listeners the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviours 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 health and self-care.

New recording by Courtney Patterson.

Great content but narration needs to be fixed

I love Dr Nicole’s work and have been waiting for the book with excitement. I’m really enjoying it so far and getting used to the narration which is a bit slow (I find 1.3x speed works quite well). I’m a few chapters in and I think the narration is improving. The content is great!

Growing breaking

This book is life changing. It stopped me in my tracks more than once, as a few truths were discovered for me. I am so grateful for this book and for Nicole. I listened to it at 1.5x speed and was fine with the tone. Am already planning to listen to it again and this time, will take notes!

Brilliant Work

I have followed Nicole for a few years now and she has definitely inspired me to look deep inside and identify how to live a fulfilled and authentic life by doing the work.

Very emotionally evoking.

I found it very relatable… and will listen again pausing the book to “do the work”.
I thought the option to do various exercises reflecting on your own life experience is a useful tool to offer.
I can’t wait to listen again ,this time with a pen and notebook 😊
