Dr. Nicole LePera is a clinical psychologist in private practice who 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 tools necessary to heal themselves. Her latest book, How to Meet Your Self: The Workbook for Self-Discovery, is out now.
What you'll learn from this episode:
How trauma is really about the way we experience an event in our life, the lasting effects trauma has on how we show up in life, and how we can unwind from this trauma through awareness.
What parentification is, and how it can leave us with lifelong habits of putting others’ needs above our own.
Questions to ask yourself to understand how your mind works and empower yourself to take control of your life and stop being an NPC (non-player character).
The power of habit stacking, how to slowly build positive habits that support your physical and mental health over time, and why it’s essential to build daily habits like breathwork so you are able to regulate your autonomic nervous system when you need to.
How to navigate conflict with ‘I’ statements and properly calm yourself down before re-engaging the person with whom you are having a disagreement.
And much more!
