Can a book really help? Yep. 'Cause this is what we are going to do:
- In 5 phases, we'll travel from 'will this ever get better' back to calm. Together.
- I'll tell you all the stories, loving tips and exercises that TRULY helped me back on my feet, and now can help you too (with depression, anxiety, burn-out, or whatever your rough times are called).
- Don't worry: they're short handwritten texts with lots of drawings – because personally couldn't read normal print anymore with a mind so 'full' of thoughts.
- You're not alone, and I'll tell you that often. You're normal, no matter what you think or feel. And it really, really gets better. And for those of you who can't believe that just yet (because I didn't either), I am here for you in this book.
- This isn't my book, but it will become your book: with plenty of room for your journey and your own notes.
- It feels nice and is made with love– so it can sit on your nightstand (soft touch, sustainable FSC paper, 228 pages, 22.5 cm by 22.5 cm).
- The most special thing: the book is often recommended by psychologists. Because yes therapy helps, but still.. what do you do when home alone on the couch in between sessions? That's where this book comes in. It goes well with existing therapy or coaching and comes recommended by, among others, Psychology Magazine, the MIND Institute, the Association for High Sensitivity, well known TV-Psychologist Saskia, and many others). And yes, many readers even bring the book to their therapist to work on it together. There are also psychologists who sell the book.
- If you're still in doubt, be sure to read the reviews, DMs, and private messages I received from thousands of dear readers who have gone before you. Or send us an email with you questions on hello@heyareyouokay.com Because I want you to know you are not alone okay? There is always hope - even if you can't feel it right now.
- This book I made for me has now helped over 25.000 people, and is now being published in Australia and the USA. I am so grateful that my dark days bring so much light. And I hope it may help you too.
”dear Marieke, thank you thank you thank you for making this book. You really have been the superhero in my recovery. Every time I read things I could not believe you had felt the same. (Every other sentence I called out to my boyfriend, saying WHAT? Marieke has had this too!) While I thought I was alone, you made me feel sort of normal. I feel so much better now. Your book was my best friend on this trip.
I'm forever grateful “
