If you go back in the archives of this podcast, you'll discover a truly insightful and inspirational conversation with the one and only John Purkiss, the author of The Power of Letting Go. John's bestselling book takes an in-depth look at what happens when you finally let go of past trauma and make real, intentional steps forward in your life.

This vast improvement on your mental health and well-being is paramount to healing and becoming happy again, and letting go of all the negative emotions that surround our past mistakes and shortcomings serves as a critical step towards living the life you want to live.

In Season 3 Episode 8 of Stuff My Therapist Says, Sara welcomes John back to the podcast to continue to the conversation! John recently released a guided journal that stemmed from the popularity of The Power of Letting Go called Learn to Let Go: A Guided Journal: Drop everything that's holding you back and today, he's going to tell you all about it while providing insight and wisdom to help you make strides to let go in your life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How John's bestselling book led to his new guided journal
  • The impact of letting go of past emotions and trauma
  • John's simple 3-step process for letting things go
  • What it means to "unclench and surrender" and the pivotal role this action plays on your mental health
