Avoiding the overused \u201cself-help\u201d model, she focuses on the actual process of therapy, divided into logical and palatable steps all driven by the goal of telling <em>your<\/em> story.

This approach helps create a tangible connection with the reader in a way that straightforward self-help books often struggle to achieve.
