If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by personal challenges, need more joy and serenity, or simply wonder what happens in therapy, step inside Tuya Pearl’s office to experience the transformational process. With keys and a professional therapist to guide you, you’ll unlock your story with clarity that will astound, heal, and set you free. Participate in sessions that get to the source of anxiety, depression, compulsions, self-doubt, and other emotional issues—listening to others’ real-life stories and telling your own—with prompts to inspire and awaken you. From the privacy of a confidential read, and with the perspective of both client and healer, Tell Me Your Story moves you through the stages of therapy—from the initial phone call to the final goodbye—connecting body, mind, and spirit with inner wisdom to reclaim and enjoy your most authentic life.

—PsychCentral Book Review

“...If healing and hope are what you seek, then look no further. This will be for you a transformative read.”
—Curt Thompson, MD, author of Anatomy of the Soul and The Soul of Shame

“In her engaging book, Pearl walks readers step by step into a therapy session, encouraging the reader to get comfortable. Pearl’s written voice is gentle and calming, grounded in her own healing as she invites readers to consider taking a risk on face-to-face therapy as a primary door to change. You’ll love the list of rewards for awakening, healing, and being freed. Symptoms of Inner Peace: Loss of interest in conflict, loss of ability to worry, and frequent episodes of appreciation. Paperback: $16.95. Healing from the past: Priceless.”
—Allyson Gracie, Retailing Insight

“Whether you are a clinician, a client, or just interested in becoming unstuck, Tuya has provided a powerful resource to connect our past with our present and move forward through the different stages of the therapy process and therapeutic relationship. You feel like you are an observer in the room, a client in the session, and at times able to be the healer as well. Throughout the book, Tell Me Your Story gifts the reader with insight into professional and personal development, and the read is a rewarding journey.”
