Therapeutic Book Club: "The 9 Hard Truths About Love" by Jillian Turecki

For our next meeting of the Therapeutic Book Club, we will discuss "It Begins with You: The 9 Hard Truths About Love That Will Change Your Life" by Jillian Turecki.

Blending therapeutic strategies, somatic techniques, client case studies, practical tools, and guiding questions, this book discusses ways to break painful patterns, build self-awareness and identify unhealthy attachments. Turecki reveals nine core truths about love and self-acceptance and provides powerful self-healing techniques and strategies to help us repair our relationship with ourselves and start building more rewarding relationships.

The Therapeutic Book Club is aimed at self-discovery and self-reflection by exploring relevant themes and connecting with others in a safe environment. The group decides by vote which book will be read for the next meeting. The books are therapeutic in nature covering themes such as childhood trauma, anxiety, stress management and healthy relationships.

We are an open and non-judgemental group that welcomes a diversity of ideas and perspectives. This is also an inclusive event open to all genders.

Previous books we have read and discussed include Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic by Esther Perel, and The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Maté.

There is no charge for attendance but we recommend people purchase at least one drink at the venue. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Anita (Niah) Sommers or Kat LeRoy.
