You’ve said to yourself…

“Someone, just tell me what to do!”

But do you actually want that?

Really?

Rather than instructing you on how to live your “best life” - this book will instead leave you with a deeper connection to yourself, your body, your inner child, and YOUR wisdom. 

“I was captivated by Emily’s story and her raw humanity in this poignant and at times even poetic exploration of change. Though the content is deep and layered, Emily deconstructs therapy and presents it in such an accessible and fun way.”

In this compelling blend of professional insight and personal revelation, seasoned therapist Emily Sloan draws from over a decade of experience to explore the transformative power of therapy and the Philosophy of Self-Trust (the core of true self-development). Through 13 poignant lessons, Sloan challenges the notion of fixed personalities and offers a nuanced perspective on human growth and healing.

Emily guides readers through the intricate landscape of personal change. She shares vivid anecdotes from her practice, weaving them with her own journey of self-reflection and professional evolution. Emily explores universal truths and unique life experiences, revealing why prescriptive therapy often falls short and emphasizing the crucial role of intuition. She illuminates the possibilities that emerge when we connect with our inner wisdom.

Can People Really Change? is a book (and question) for: 

  • Mental health therapists 

  • People considering therapy

  • Those interested in deconstructing personal development

  • Anyone curious about the human capacity for change

  • Students of philosophy of the self

Emily’s warm and authentic voice makes complex psychological concepts accessible, offering readers practical wisdom they can apply to their own lives. 

“In a world often clouded by pretense, this book stands out as a beacon of raw honesty and unfiltered truth.

It is the most genuine, no-nonsense, and enjoyable exploration of the human experience I have ever encountered. Each page is a testament to Emily's ability to capture life’s essence with both wit and wisdom.

This is not just a book to read once and set aside; it is a companion to revisit time and again, offering new insights and comfort as we navigate the various phases of our lives.

Truly, it is a masterpiece that resonates deeply and leaves a lasting impact.”
