How to Be the Love You Seek: Break Cycles, Find Peace, and Heal Your Relationships [L0123]

2023 HCDJ in nice clean condition. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. "A practical, reader-friendly, and inspiring primer on how to extend true connection and love to others." -Gabor Maté M.D. From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Do the Work comes this paradigm-shifting guide to healing your relationships, beginning with the one you have with yourself. For decades, leading relationship advice has maintained that successful relationships require a specific compromise-that we must change our authentic expression to better meet the needs of others, and vice versa. It may sound reasonable in theory, but as Dr. LePera explains, this approach is nothing less than a recipe for a lifetime of resentment. In this book Dr. LePera, whose integrative, holistic approach to psychology has attracted an international audience of million, offers a new path to healing our relationships. Harnessing the latest scientific research, she teaches us to recognize how unmet needs from our earliest relationships create our current, dysfunctional relationship patterns, and leave us in a state of constant internal threat, even with those closest to us. Complete with stories, exercises, journal prompts, and other practical tools, How to Be the Love You Seek offers a healing roadmap for all generations of cycle-breakers.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This book is a testament to the transformative power of love, both for oneself and in relationships. As a clinician, this book is a powerful tool for myself and for the work I do with clients. If you're seeking wisdom, compassion, and actionable steps toward personal growth, this book is a must-read. Five stars - because it's a heartfelt and empowering guide that leaves a lasting impact! "; "Changed the way I think and set me on a course of personal fulfillment. Many of the ideas and practices Dr. LaPera discusses felt alien and uncomfortable to me at first (and some still do), but their incredible value is clear and has made a noticable impact in my life in a short period of time. Dr. LaPera's balance of both scientific and spriritual evidence bridges the gap between logic and emotion and accessibly breaks down how to be the love you seek."; " "Dives into deeply impactful exploration of self-love and personal growth. Dr. Nicole challenges readers to reflect on their emotional patterns and the importance of cultivating self-love as a foundation for healthy relationships. Explores having and keeping healthy relationships in all forms including, romantic, family, friends, business, etc. I found myself frequently pausing to meditate on the profound concepts presented, which made the reading experience both enriching and transformative."
