In You Made It Up, Now Stop Believing It by Kathi Sohn, the author provides a new, unique, and interesting way of dealing with trauma that originated when you were a child (or even before, when you were in the womb!) by helping you identify what the author calls ‘vows’ and giving you the tools and the step-by-step of how to overcome them.

The book and its concepts are presented in an easy and clear way to understand them, and the author provides a series of examples of people who have gone through the therapy process of identifying their vows and what they did to overcome them.

The author also claims everyone heals with this process, and this is where I take it with a grain of salt, and the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Mental health is a very complicated issue to deal with, and not everything works for everyone. And while this book has many tips and concepts that are used in different types of therapy, it’s always better to have the disclaimer to seek professional help instead of just claiming you can follow the steps outlined in the book to heal yourself, much less use the book to try to heal others, as the book even recommends.

I also want to make sure to say that I am not completely dismissing the book, as I think it has many helpful tips you can follow to improve your day-to-day and get rid of bad habits. And also, I’m not saying this body memory process technique the author vouches for and implements herself can work for some people, or it can be a nice way to complement other types of therapy one might be using. And towards the end, the book has a nice summary of its ideas so everything can be clearer for the reader, which I think is nice. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for alternative ways of healing and improving your bad habits.
