Our first title of 2026 officially dropped today, and this is one everyone needs on their TBR list.
Because, yes, contrary to popular belief, self-love isn’t actually required in order to heal from trauma or love your best life. In fact, for those of us with childhood trauma, “self-love” can often downright impossible.
But there’s another way.
Consider “self-neutrality” instead, and you’ll be surprised how liberating and empowering it can feel.
What is self-neutrality?
In essence, it’s the ability to see yourself objectively, with unemotional and nonjudgmental curiosity and observation.
It’s turning self-statements like “I’m such an idiot” into “I made a mistake, and I feel upset with myself right now.”
Through the lens of self-neutrality, “My body is gross” becomes “My body is an acceptable human body, just like every other human body.”
It’s about creating a space where we feel safe to explore the origins of our self-hatred and dismantle those beliefs slowly and tenderly through challenging but attainable goals.
While wrote this book to be a guiding light for trauma survivors, it can also serve as a supplemental tool for therapists as they work with clients, in and between sessions.
