One aspect of our core Self is courage, which author Natasha Senra-Pereira amply demonstrates in her writing. This book is informed by an absolute commitment to personal healing and a dedication to service. It turns out they are the same. What emerges naturally for the reader is the understanding that no matter who you are or what has happened to you, your core Self is undamaged and available, wanting to manifest. Shit has happened to you, and your parts have helped you cope. The author shows us how to go beyond 'coping' to transform the pain and embody who you truly are. This book is a much-needed gift at this time. Natasha, thank you for this important contribution to the field. -Derek Scott, RSW; Certified IFS Consultant; Founder and CEO, IFSCA Talk Therapy Isn't Enough is a vulnerable tell-all of one psychotherapist's journey to heal herself and experience wholeness. The author's account of her personal journey contains immense Dharma (universal truth applicable to all humans) that can benefit all of us. The balance of her life story and intimate sharing of her personal development and therapeutic sessions creates an exciting read that immersed me from the first page until the last. When one of us awakens, it opens the doors for us all to do the same. This book is a great way to open those doors! -Jesse Hanson, PhD This book should give hope and help to many in their struggle towards health. -Robert Falconer, co-author, Many Minds, One Self, IFS teacher/consultant Kudos to Natasha Senra-Pereira and her groundbreaking book Talk Therapy Isn't Enough. From her life experiences, educational training, and personal search, she shares with the reader her journey through various modalities of personal trauma healing from the traditional to the non-traditional. This is a real story with real feelings and real challenges. It is a gutsy, sometimes raw, but always uplifting account of how relentless searching and open-mindedness can lead to wholeness and ultimate personal redemption. Natasha opens doors to trauma healing that heretofore have rarely, if ever, been employed together concerning their individual power and scope. She flings those doors wide open. Her story is one of allowing one's search for healing to be a true search...looking for and finding help in an open-hearted way without judgment of each process and with a willingness to use all the tools available to heal. Her result: a whole life filled with hope and love and healing. This is a must-read for all who are interested personally and/or professionally in finding authentic trauma healing. -Janice Hayes, Doctor of RoHun Therapy After reading Talk Therapy Isn't Enough, my heart is full, and a smile plays on my lips. I have laughed, I have cried, and I have seen myself in her words and story. This book is an act of good medicine. I recommend it, especially for therapists who long for permission to speak more fully of their own spiritual and mystical experiences, and as inspiration for anyone to see 'symptoms' as calls to follow your heart, mind, body, and soul wherever is needed to find healing. -Dr. Risa Adams, MA, MD, CCRP, Certified IFS Consultant
