'How We Heal' asks readers to embrace the power of positive self-talk

Most people who have chosen the path of self-actualization - where one tries to reach their full potential in all areas of their life - have probably encountered the moving words of a breath coach , restorative writing teacher and NYT bestselling author Alex Elle. For nearly a decade, she shared her healing journey through a collection of poetry books, spirited journals, and self-care manuals. She offers in-person workshops, classes (she is currently a teacher-in-residence at Civana Wellness Resort and Spa), and retreats for more hands-on learning. With nearly 1.5 million subscribers on social networks, Elle is an open book. Followers watch her growth as she enters each new phase of her life. From her first book, “Words From a Wanderer” — a compilation of poems and love notes to herself — to her latest, “How We Heal: Uncover Your Power and Set Yourself Free” ($18), l wife and mother of three offers readers the chance to see what it's like to heal with intention.

In “How We Heal,” she guides readers through their healing journey, incorporating personal anecdotes, journal prompts, and exercises throughout the book. In four sections - "Starting from Scratch", "Befriending Your Fear", "Reclaiming Your Power" and "Healing Your Heart" - readers follow a roadmap for connecting with their inner child. The road begins with understanding and choosing self-forgiveness, which she tells POPSUGAR "requires a sweetness that I feel like many of us weren't raised to tap into."< /p> @popsugarwellness
