I’m so excited and pleased to announce that one if our coaches Petra Velzeboer has just had a book published, and what a book it is! I am proud to say I was one of the first to read it from cover to cover and I can honestly say I could not put it down. A story of no matter what our start in life, how bad things get, or what situation we find ourselves in. There is always a way to make good! There are some wonderful insights into how we can all invest in our mental health, but we in my opinion a much needed enthesis on, one size doesn’t fit all, and how experimenting with new things can open doors and pathways that lead to learning. I will drop some more details below but the book is called Begin with you, go a grab a copy and please let us know what you think. Available on Amazon and all other big providers.
Also if you would like to know a little more about Petra’s story before committing to the book, you can get an insight here. https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/children-of-god-cult-escaping-lonely-outside-world-2319389
