You’re not broken! Learn how your past impacts your present and develop the psychological mindset you need to break damaging patterns in how you interact with and relate to others.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Laura Williams’ life was turned upside down by her husband’s sudden death at the age of 37, when they had three young children. This trauma forced her to reexamine everything and apply the psychological teachings she’d used professionally to help hundreds of others, to her own life.
In What to Do When You Feel Broken, Dr. Williams uses her remarkable story to take you on a journey of self-discovery. This book will help you to understand what drives your behavior and why unhelpful psychological traits can persist from influential early conditioning. Many of us have experienced some level of relational trauma that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, fails to address and are searching for ways to heal. Dr. Williams shows you how to heal from trauma by simplifying key psychological theories so you can learn how to formulate and understand your unique psychological story.
Filled with practical exercises, this book will help you to identify your needs, communicate effectively in your key relationships, and change your mindset so that you can break free from negative patterns—such as perfectionism or imposter syndrome—that limit your personal growth. Having applied psychological theories to her own life as well as her patients’, Dr. Williams distills her professional and personal wisdom to help you live with more meaning, freedom, and purpose than ever before.
