How to Be the Love You Seek

More about the book

From the creator of The Holistic Psychologist and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Do the Work comes a transformative guide to enhancing relationships, starting with self-connection. Relationships are crucial for human survival; our bodies and brains are wired for connection, both romantic and platonic. However, these essential bonds often lead to profound suffering. Traditionally, experts have suggested that successful relationships require compromise, where individuals change their behaviors to meet each other's needs. While this sounds reasonable, true fulfillment cannot come from others; it must originate within ourselves. In this guide, Dr. Nicole LePera, a New York Times bestselling author known for her integrative, holistic approach to psychology, presents a new way to heal relationships. Drawing on the latest scientific research, she reveals how unmet needs from our earliest relationships shape our current connections. By taking responsibility for these unmet needs, we can learn to coexist with others in a healthy, loving manner. Whether dealing with a partner, parent, sibling, child, friend, or colleague, Dr. LePera helps identify the wounds and conditioning that lead to discord and disconnection, offering pathways to healing in both mind and body. With stories, exercises, journal prompts, and practical guidance, this work is set to become a classic and a vital resource for a new generation seekin
