Natasha Senra-Pereira, one of the sharpest, funniest, and most self-assured (dare I say tough?) people I knew at university, has written an incredibly vulnerable and powerful book about emotional and spiritual healing。 This is a raw, painful, wide-open memoir about negative childhood experiences, an acrimonious divorce, and how sometimes, even for an experienced therapist like Natasha herself, talk therapy just isn’t enough。After 20 years of traditional therapy, Natasha takes us through her own Natasha Senra-Pereira, one of the sharpest, funniest, and most self-assured (dare I say tough?) people I knew at university, has written an incredibly vulnerable and powerful book about emotional and spiritual healing。 This is a raw, painful, wide-open memoir about negative childhood experiences, an acrimonious divorce, and how sometimes, even for an experienced therapist like Natasha herself, talk therapy just isn’t enough。After 20 years of traditional therapy, Natasha takes us through her own personal and professional exploration of various therapeutic modalities including somatic therapy, EMDR (which I’m really interested in), Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) and psychedelics (🍄)。This is a fantastic book for anyone interested in self-work as, ultimately, it’s a detailed healing journey, similar in ways to Eat, Pray, Love or Quit Like a Woman。 There is wisdom in these pages and yet, it’s deeply personal。 I found it difficult to reconcile the Natasha I knew at Queen’s with the Natasha writing this book but that’s an experience the vast majority of readers wouldn’t have。 Regardless of my connection, I would 100% recommend this book to anyone interested or curious about therapy, healing and self-exploration。 I’m so proud to know Natasha and am beyond impressed with her openness as she shares her personal journey with the world。 👏👏👏 。。。more
