About this listen

It's time to bring therapy out of the therapy room and into the real world.

In recent years, therapy and self-care have become familiar buzzwords, but it's clear that people are having to face their emotional difficulties without the tools and insight to work through them. Enter Real Talk: A book to enable listeners to have genuine, authentic conversations with themselves, and to start the journey of healing their past experiences and cope with the challenges of modern life.

Filled with techniques and wisdom from a therapist's toolkit this is a must-have handbook for optimising your mental health. Drawing on her experience as a qualified psychotherapist and applying her intersectional perspective Tasha Bailey shares the knowledge and skills you need to change your life.

Tasha's straight-talking but compassionate style will help listeners hold up a mirror to their present situation and make sense of their past—delving into topics such as:

  • Trauma & inner-child healing
  • Love, trust, and attachment
  • Family: intergenerational cycles of behaviour, rupture, and repair.
  • Self-Esteem, bodies & sex

Real Talk contains a collection of lessons which the listener might typically learn in therapy. Tasha teaches listeners modern language and ideas about mental health, exploring self-love and self-understanding. Connecting psychological theory, lived experience, references from modern day media and case studies from Tasha's work to create a more current, creative, and inclusive perspective of mental health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Most relevant
I loved this book! It really is a guide to the journey of healing. I love that it covers many possible topics that could be brought to the therapy room. I also love that it is not the typical expected stance or voice. I felt it refreshing & inclusive to me on the most part (as mixed Black woman & a mum etc). It touches on family dynamics, inner child, how we relate to the world around us - there’s much more but those were most relevant to me. Loved the exercises & overall enjoyed it! Will definitely refer back to chapters as & when needed.

Amazing
