Once I started reading this book, I could not stop. Yelena writes so beautifully, so passionately, and every word comes from such a non-judgmental and dedicated individual who has overcome many obstacles in life and is now passing down her wisdom and education from her own journey and professional career. This book is bright, knowledgeable and inspiring. Every person would benefit from this read to gain an understanding of what mental health really is and that what they are feeling is okay. From depression and anxiety to personality disorders, one in four of us experience mental health issues every year, especially in these strange and unsettling times, as more of us than ever are struggling to cope. This lively, accessible guide is comforting, reassuring and should be on everyone's reading list. Sabina Broder Parents Pathway Counsellor Yelena has certainly succeeded in creating a book that distinguishes itself by crafting a comprehensive, clear and easy to read manual on when, why and how to seek professional help. An incredibly insightful book that is based on personal experience, current research and work with patients that provides a roadmap of steps, tools and practical information on how to proactively navigate the nuances of mental health in today's society. An engaging, relatable and motivating book that is a must read for anyone. This will be a terrific resource for those in the therapy communities, but especially for those outside of them. A book that I will most definitely be recommending to my colleagues, friends and family! Anna Tesoriero Generalist Teacher Yelena's personal journey and professional lens are invaluable in helping us access mental health pathways and promoting wellbeing. An accessible and valuable resource for navigating the mental health maze, this is an empowering and useful text. Yelena has managed to capture the confusions and frustrations of dealing with mental health concerns and offering a pathway towards empowerment. Her personal story and professional experience will help the reader take the stigma sting out of mental health concerns. Peter Langdon Clinical and Counselling Psychologist Yelena leads you gently with her own inspiring story and creates a bridge for you to overcome any fears or doubts about seeking help for your mental health. She then guides you through all aspects of what to look for in a therapist, the types of therapy, expectations of your progress, communication skills, getting help for a loved one - and becoming your own psychologist. As I read this book, I felt like I was taken to a vast library of knowledge which both inspired and empowered me. It is clearly written, easy to comprehend and held my interest all the way through. This is a must-read for anyone seeking help for their mental wellbeing, and especially for people who are frightened to take that first step -it is a much-needed resource in today's world. Heather Binns Author, There Is Nothing To Fear As a mother of a teenager and a teacher throughout the six lockdowns in Melbourne due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I was very interested in empowering others with the knowledge of 'what they were feeling is normal' and where they can get help if they felt they needed it. Yelena's book does just this. It provides powerful insights into what can be considered normal and not so normal, while going into detail about how, why and when to get help. It goes a step further by explaining what to look for and what to expect when getting help. By providing a tool that helps others to help themselves especially after so many around the world have struggled through the events of the last few years truly shows how committed Yelena is to helping others.
