How We Heal: Uncover Your Power and Set Yourself Free

Alex + her working is definitely a gentle reminder that healing is within us + possible when we do the work. There are so many gems throughout this book, connecting + interweaving through her previous work—it gives everyone who desires to be a better version of themselves (ourselves)—hope, encouragement, love, peace, joy, and nourishment. Alex + her work has changed my life—for the better….and I pray that she continues to touch lives throughout the world—through her spirit + light—that she gives through her presence, through her words….through her existence Earthside.

Alexandra Elle’s How We Heal offers a compassionate, multi-layered guide to emotional restoration, weaving her own wisdom with contributions from other writers, therapists, and healers. The book’s brilliance lies in its collaborative spirit—readers are introduced to diverse voices and perspectives through meditations, storytelling, and personal reflections. Each contributor enriches the healing conversation, showing that recovery is not a solitary process but one deeply rooted in shared humanity and connection. Elle’s approach is highly practical yet deeply nurturing. She integrates journaling prompts, breath work exercises, and mindfulness practices in a way that feels accessible and flexible, encouraging readers to engage at their own pace. Rather than framing healing as a rigid step-by-step process, she offers tools that can be revisited in cycles, allowing for ebb and flow in one’s emotional journey. This balance of structure and softness makes the work approachable, especially for those who may feel overwhelmed by their own pain. Throughout, Elle gently dismantles the idea of healing as a “project” with a fixed endpoint. She reminds readers that healing is ongoing, often messy, and rarely linear—but also profoundly worth the effort. By normalizing setbacks and emotional complexity, she fosters a mindset of self-compassion and patience. The book leaves readers with a renewed sense of agency, anchored in the belief that while wounds may not vanish, tending to them can cultivate resilience, self-trust, and a deeper capacity for joy.

I am a huge fan of Alex Elle’s work! By the time I was on page 15, I had already shed a few tears. This book reminds you that you’re human, your feelings are natural, healing is a never-ending/nonlinear, and you have to be honest with yourself about your thoughts & feelings. Now, I’m half-way thru the book and feel SO seen by the stories, journal prompts, and meditations inside. Doing this work is not easy and it’s not always fun either, having to face fears and/or things you’d rather not think about, but this book has given me the opportunity to dive deep into who I am and who I want to be. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to or ready to do that inner work!

The beauty of this book is in the diversity of knowledge and practices. I had planned on finishing this book a month or so into purchasing it, but after a few pages I quickly realized that this book isn’t meant to be read for reading sakes. This book is soooooo relatable and is full of gentle reminders. I truly appreciate the additional guidance that this book offers like meditation, journaling prompts, breath work and voices from other people on healing. If you’re looking to get into your reading era, or need some sort of guidance on healing, I highly recommend. P.S you will have those “I feel the exact same way.” “Wow. I’m not the only one” “I needed that” “That makes a lot of sense.” “Let me get my pen.” “…..sniffles” moments.

I appreciate this book so much! Alex helps demystify the concept of healing in such a poetic and powerful way. And she shares her own personal experiences with healing that make me feel like I’m talking to a wise sage. The writing and exercises are simply beautiful and practical and manageable in a way that helps the reader gain clarity and an impact. Thank you for this work!

Alex Elle continues to be my favorite wellness author. Her books After the Rain and How We Heal take a deep dive into the intricacies of healing while reviving us tangible tools and exercises to include in our daily practices of trying to be better people. I enjoyed the addition of other author’s stories as a means to break up the content. It was nice seeing other inspirational speakers like Tabitha Brown collaborate with Alex to bring us relatable tidbits on their own lives and healing journeys. I was able to finish the book in about a weeks time, but will be revisiting to do the activities sprinkled throughout. 10/10 would and have already recommended to a friend.

Haven’t read it yet but excited

If you are on a journey to healing and feeling better about yourself/life, this will be a great read for you. It is filled with journal prompts (with examples), meditations, breathwork, and lots of reminders on how to move toward healing. I intentionally read it slowly so I could really put into practice what I was reading. It is marvelous. I have colleagues and friends, who have purchased it as well, and they love it.

Very good even bothered it to my friend . Bought it awhile ago . I recommend this book if you looking to heal

Capa dura, mas ótima leitura

Whatever we need to heal from, it is a journey that takes time. Alex‘ book helped me a lot to discover a lot of aspects I never was aware.

Alex is amazing....I came across her on Insta and fell in love with her spirit. I then decided to order her new book. And have enjoyed every bit of it. She doesn't just spew a bunch of nonsense...she asks you to ask yourself realistic questions to ensure your healing in real and genuine by taking you on a step by step journey. I haven't finished the book yet but that's simply because I am taking my time reading, taking in the book while trying to do the work. I will definitely be reading her other books. I am now a life long fan.

As a hemorrhagic stroke survivor, I am all for finding books that help me better understand my ‘why’s’. When Alex released How We Heal, it was like God was sending me a message and I just had to purchase it. I am not done but this book is a life changer- a saving grace. So well written, easy to follow along and I can feel a difference in my emotions and the way I desire to carry myself. We are healing together and breaking unhealthy cycles. I do not regret my purchase! Thank you Alex, you are an inspiration to many!
