A guide from psychotherapist Lisa Olivera on getting back to your true “self”. It will help you recognize, understand, and transform your life script.
Perfectionism, self-criticism, imposter syndrome, the desire to please everyone, deep shame, doubting your own strength—these are all manifestations of destructive stories we tell ourselves. Once they were a protective reaction to a lack of support, neglect, violence, or other negative experiences from the past. Now they pull us back, keep us from realizing ourselves and living fully.
At the root of these stories lies the false belief that we are not good enough and don’t deserve love. If you’ve ever felt this way, perhaps it’s time to tell yourself a new story.
In this gentle, supportive, and full of hope book, psychotherapist Lisa Olivera invites you to become aware of, make sense of, and rewrite negative life scripts—reminding you that we create our own story. Here you’ll find self-reflection questions, examples, and practices that will gently guide you along the path of healing and help you create a new, life-affirming story about yourself.
