Summary

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and WHOOP. Today on the Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nicole LePera to discuss how both her personal and clinical experiences taught her the importance of cultivating emotional awareness and how to use tools like breathwork to step out of our thinking brains and into our bodies. Dr. Nicole LePera was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research, and the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. She's the author of the number-one New York Times bestselling book How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self and the host of the SelfHealers Soundboard podcast. Her latest workbook, How to Meet Your Self, will be released on December 6. As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves.
