A radical new path to revolutionise your relationships

Why are our closest relationships so often a source of more stress than solace? Whether the relationship is with a romantic partner, a parent, child, friend or colleague, the dynamic is frequently the same - you'd like the relationship to change for the better, yet nothing you try seems to work.

Author of international bestseller How to Do the Work, Dr Nicole LePera has heard these frustrating patterns of loneliness, disconnection, and resentment described time and again, both from patients in her clinical practice and from her global online community @the.holistic.psychologist. In this groundbreaking book she offers a new path to healing our relationships by tapping into the power of the heart.

How to Be the Love You Seek harnesses the latest scientific research to teach us how to recognise our dysfunctional patterns, identify their roots in our earliest relationships, break painful cycles, build security and share compassion with ourselves and others.

Through stories, exercises, journal prompts, and other practical tools, Dr LePera empowers us first to strengthen our foundation of self-love, paving the way for deeper, more harmonious connections with those around us.

When you become the love you seek, you have the power to transform every relationship, from your most intimate partnerships to the bonds that hold our communities together.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Like her other books, the author places self responsibility at the centre of healing, and has her own original combination of ideas from psychology and alternative healing to help you get there, especially nervous system regulation and living in the heart. But it didn’t feel as empowering as her other books, and I was surprised that there is almost nothing about relating, or relationship dynamics. It seemed very individualistic for a book about love. But I still liked it, and I’ll listen again in the future

Good, but strangely individualistic

I have been on the journey of understanding myself and others for more than 20 years. I have read SOO many books, had Soo much professional energy, psychology, movement therapy.... and this book summarises most on my learnings in an easy to understand, relatable (too surprisingly so) manner.
This book should be a curriculum in schools. Spread the word and get as many people to read this, heal themselves and the people and the world around them as possible. Nicole, you are a treasure, thank you for your phenomenal work in raising consciousness x

Lepera - psychology genius!
Beautifully and sensitively presented with rationale, research and workable strategies. She always gives her writing that personal and sensitive touch that makes you feel like you’re right in the room with a therapist.

Insightful and Applicable
