Already enough : a path to self-acceptance
(Book)

"When Lisa Olivera was just a few hours old, she was abandoned behind a rock near Muir Woods in Northern California. She was found by a man and a woman who were out bird watching with their toddler. Two days later, she was adopted. Growing up, she knew she was adopted. She later discovered she was abandoned. She often wondered about her birth mother, and why her birth mother abandoned her in the woods. Without any answers, Lisa came up with her own: she was not enough as she was. This story wasn't true, but it made sense of a confusing experience. It allowed her to move forward-it felt like the only way. If you, like Lisa, have ever felt like you weren't lovable, or you didn't belong, or like you weren't enough exactly as you are... you are telling yourself the wrong story. With the help of a therapist, Lisa told herself a better story. In this book, she shows you how you can too. This book is about getting honest about our stories and how they affect us-and they affect a lot more than we realize. It's about doing the brave work of reframing our stories so we can choose to show up differently. And it's about getting free by integrating all parts of who you are-the messy and the beautiful-to live a truer, more whole, and more meaningful life. May this book humanize your healing. May this book honor your process. May this book remind you that you are not alone. May this book help you recognize your capacity to reframe and rewrite, to heal, grow, and change, to transform"--,Provided by publisher.
