If you think too hard about therapy, it occurs to you that you’ve shared everything about yourself with a person who has told you maybe 10% about them in reciprocity. By design. This book feels like a therapist who couldn’t take it anymore and wrote a book 90% about herself.

Buckle up, Buttercup!
If you're truly done with looking backwards, focusing on how you got to where you are, wondering why all the work you've put into yourself hasn't yielded results, Katherine Woodward Thomas's What's True About You is what you've been waiting for. It's time to not only look forward, but move forward and this work will guide you along.
It may sound like tough love, but Katherine's professional and personal experience shines through, offering both compassion and clarity, as well as consistency, so you gently but assuredly find yourself shifting, trusting, exploring — and the world around you begins to reflect that.
I see this is the third installment in a series that began with "Calling in the One," for when you're ready for romantic love, "Conscious Uncoupling," if a couple grows apart, and now offers "What's True About You," the roadmap for a deep, honest and loving commitment to yourself, guiding you through how to transform the urges of your calling into the actual experiences of your life. I've been both reading and listening to the book and love being able to switch back and forth for meditations and exercises.

A Cheat Sheet for Change
One of my favorite expressions, first shared by a beloved mentor, is: “I love you exactly as you are, and I will help you become whoever you want to become.”
In this book, Katherine takes that sentiment a step further and shows us how to live it—how to become what we long to become. She invites us to name our highest, future-forward intention and then offers a clear, step-by-step blueprint for getting there.
With insight and compassion, she helps us uncover what’s keeping us stuck and gently guides us in unraveling those patterns, so we can move toward our deepest heart’s desire.

This book is a reminder that your past doesn’t get to decide your future. You do.
