This is really beautiful. It really calms me down as well as brings myself back to the present moment and grounds my feet with that inner voice of "You're okay". I want August to come so quickly!!! 📚 You really inspire me as a 3rd year majoring in Clinical Psych.

i can't wait for you to read it! as of now, there's just a pre-order option for the US and UK. BUT it's going to be available in many countries/languages in Europe and will be available in August, at the date of publication! x

I can't tell you how helpful this post was in finally helping me to understand why I feel like I'm never doing enough/can never rest. I feel like a lightbulb went off, thinking through the questions you posed. I knew the issue was that my old environment /= my new one, so I could drop the survival mechanisms I developed, but I was still mentally focused on blaming my parents for making me into a perfectionist with a horrible inner critic. It's a tiny shift, but feels huge, to think now that they created an unsafe environment, and so I found a way to feel safe and latched onto that - developing these tendencies for survival. Feel like I'm rambling now, but I just needed to tell you how much this newsletter helped me (in some ways, more than 1.5yrs of therapy did!). Thank you, Meg! <3
