Let Them by Mel Robbins

DRB Reviews...The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

I have been listening to this book on audible while I do my chores, and while I drive. It has changed my way of thinking and will change my life for the better.

For a person who is a chronic over thinker, with anxiety...it has been a game changer for me. I am completely obsessed with this theory. Why? Simply because Robbins is helping to rewire my mindset. 

I suffer with PTSD from domestic abuse. It is mostly resting now as a result of a happy life, but trauma has ways of resurfacing.  Trauma manifests in many forms: anxiety, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, grief, fear...this can all lead to clutter of the mind. One of the reasons I love to read is because it provides a perfect escapism. But 'stuff' needs to be dealt with when it bubbles to the surface, and I am aware that I try to deal with it by micro-managing it all. Seeking control is my way of curing the hypervigilance. 

Robbins has reinforced that we are only in control of ourselves, and that taking the approach of 'let them', is a freedom we deserve to experience. An exhaled reminder of relief to live our life in peace.

PTSD sweeps in and overtakes the senses and thoughts whenever it wants, and it always takes a toll on our emotions. The 'Let me' theory is a way of regaining my own power over my emotions, thoughts and actions; taking charge of my own happiness.

I must purchase a hard copy of this book so that I can continue to review the theory when in need most. "Let Them" is a must read and my top non-fiction recommendation so far this year.
