Untangle by Angela Mckinney

For many of us, the good stuff like success, intimacy, visibility, money, and joy can be even more triggering than managing the bad stuff. So, we tend to tune it all out and then get stuck in survival mode. Avoiding, ignoring, or hiding protects us, but also prevents us from discovering our authentic sense of purpose.

While we can't undo the past, we can address our most persistent roadblocks and gather resources that help us feel safe and grounded in order to start thriving. In this inspirational, practical, empathetic collection of lessons, stories, and exercises, Angela McKinney-an expert on habit formation and addiction recovery-demonstrates how small stressors can trap us in self-destructive patterns, and how untangling them is our key to freedom.

This daunting prospect of self-improvement is accessible through a holistic approach that intertwines psychology, neuroscience, behavioral therapy, and nature exploration to reconnect us with our innate desires to express and create. Those who embark on the journey won't be alone, as McKinney shares her story about recovering from childhood trauma as well as insight gleaned from decades of helping others overcome adversity. Untangle acts as the ultimate guide through the frightening, exhilarating, and game-changing process of reclaiming our lives and our joy.
