You’re not broken! Learn how your past impacts your present and develop the mindset you need to break damaging patterns. Clinical psychologist Dr Laura Williams’ life turned upside down when her husband suddenly died at the age of 37, when they had three young children. This trauma forced her to apply the psychological teachings she’d used professionally to help hundreds of others to her own life. In this book, Dr Williams uses her story to take you on a journey of self-discovery. Her insights will show you why unhelpful psychological traits can persist from early conditioning. Many of us have experienced some level of relational trauma. Dr Williams shows you how to heal by simplifying key psychological theories to help you understand what drives your behaviour and your unique psychological story. Filled with exercises to help you identify your needs, communicate effectively and break free from negative patterns – such as perfectionism and imposter syndrome – this book distils Dr Williams’ professional and personal wisdom to help you live with meaning, freedom and purpose.
