The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

I read this book while I was in my first 6 months of a 12 step addiction program, getting out of a toxic relationship, changing jobs, coming to terms with my poor choices over 20 years. I also just started attending trauma therapy. My thoughts were everywhere. I was so emotionally dysregulated, I now look back 1 year later and wonder how I ever survived. Briana’s writing is so beautiful. I tell my friends, “she gently gives you the hard truth” and that is what I need as an Aquarius. I have re-read portions of the book when I am struggling in between therapy appointments and it has probably saved my life a few times in addition to my other resources. I am able to stop ruminating & delusional thoughts that lead to fear and maladaptive coping. I still struggle with avoidance and functional freeze so, I just ordered the workbook so I can go even deeper and stop patterns before they start. Briana, thank you for all of you books and podcasts! I am forever grateful your insight finds it way onto paper and into my soul.

This is everything I’ve learned in the last 4 years after awakening. It is so well organized with so many useful real life examples, it helped me make sense of things I had trouble putting into words. I got goosebumps when I finished the book. I hope to have my kids read it eventually. Life is too beautiful to just let it pass by. This book will keep that from happening.
