Dr. Nicole LePera has books, an online membership but also an Instagram account that can be followed for free where she posts a lot of helpful stuff @the.holistic.psychologist
I would avoid it, that is not resources on mental health. That is not a scientific approach, just somebody that writes books but clearly didn't do the necessary work to validate their hypothesis
She did all the work on the business side, nothing on the science side
Not suited to be a resource for school at all
That's quite the judgement without ANY reasoning or explanation. I guess we can agree to disagree on that. I think her approach of looking at things makes perfect sense and has helped several people in know. Btw. she is not "just somebody who writes books" she was trained in Clinical Psychology at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research and studied at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. Anyways, to each their own, I'll stick with it, she is a wonderful resource.
She presents herself like somebody that has made research and found a solution, a new way of doing things
But there no studies, she didn't publish anything else than books, which seems to be self help book than anything close to anything scientific
As you said she has studied, so she knows what the right way to do things in science and she choose not to
She did not do the work, and we are talking resources for school
Holistic in school, I don't agree to disagree, it is wrong
Thank you for further explaining your viewpoint. I can appreciate that :)
