She came out renewed and with some form of healing. My ReviewĪfter reading this book, I believe that Nicole went on her own journey of self-discovery after facing her own pain and struggle. If you’re not familiar with Nicole LePera, check out her Instagram ( The content there will be a good indicator of whether or not this book will speak to you. It would also appeal to those who feel stuck and/or stagnant, and/or have been through some trauma (realized and unrealized). I would recommend this book to those who relate to Nicole’s Instagram content. Whether you go to therapy, take meds, or get involved in support groups those are all parts of healing yourself. And that goes beyond just shifting your mindset and outlook. I say this because when you have been through trauma there are many avenues to take to heal yourself. But not necessarily for understanding how to truly “self-heal”. It is also good if you have difficult relationships with others, and/or experience physical illness as a result of chronic stress/mental illness. The book is great for seeing and realizing that your trauma is real. Nicole talks about how trauma can be anything that was traumatic to us individually anything that we didn’t have the tools to cope with and not just the stereotypical “big” things. It is a good introduction to mindfulness and other techniques that those of us who are aspiring to be healthy adults need to practice. But also, recognizing how past family dynamics and traumas end up manifesting into bad habits or unhealthy relationships. How To Do The Work by Nicole LePera is a book about healing from trauma. I’ll share my thoughts on all of this a bit further in the review. It is said that she doesn’t believe in social justice and the effects of social issues and racism on mental health. I began reading the book without knowing a lot of the controversy around Nicole. When a friend recommended the book, How To Do The Work, knowing how I feel about personal development and growth, I initially did not make the connection that it was the same person who I followed on Instagram. I saw her spreading helpful information that often resonated with me. Like many others, I found The Holistic Psychologist on Instagram. She is a corporate leader, author, entrepreneur, and speaker. Nicole Lepera is a writer, podcaster, and social media influencer known as on Instagram with a rather large following. This is my review and thoughts on the book How To Do The Work. I share my thoughts on her take on recognizing your patterns, healing from your past, and creating yourself. After reading How To Do The Work by Nicole LePera I have gathered my thoughts on the book.
