About this listen

‘Trauma doesn't have to be the end of your story—it can be the beginning of a new, stronger chapter. What to Do When You Feel Broken dives deep into the transformative process known as post-traumatic growth, revealing how even life's most challenging moments can fuel your resilience, strength, and growth.’ Mel Robbins, bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast

You’re not broken. Learn how your past impacts your present and develop the mindset you need to break damaging patterns.

Clinical psychologist Dr Laura Williams’ life turned upside down when her husband suddenly died at the age of 37, when they had three young children. This trauma forced her to reconsider the psychological teachings she’d used professionally to help hundreds of others and apply them to her own life.

Dr Laura uses her own personal story to illustrate key psychological concepts we can all benefit from applying to our own lives. You'll learn how to:

  • Get to know yourself fully and understand what drives your behaviour and how it impacts your relationships
  • Examine your early conditioning to gain new insight into destructive feelings that you may have repressed for years
  • Use Dr Laura’s four-step HEAL framework to move forward consciously on a new path

The toolbox of knowledge and techniques in this book will empower you to pick up your ‘broken parts’ and put them back together to live life with resilience, wisdom and fortitude.

Brilliant

So insightful in helping me with my journey with my mental health. Laura is so open about discussing events which have happened in her own life. This openness and honesty really helps you to take a step out of your comfort zone to explore your own mental health journey. If you listen to or read one book today make it this one, you won’t be disappointed.

Broken doesn’t mean beyond repair!

I absolutely loved this book. Dr Laura Williams offers a compassionate, honest and practical guide for anyone feeling overwhelmed, a bit lost, or broken in ways they don’t fully understand. It has helped me in ways I can’t comprehend and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I bought the book on pre-release and then I purchased the audio look. I loved both but the drive to work each morning with the audio book on the radio really resonated. Hearing Dr Laura Williams tell her story in her own words was powerful and moving.

With a warm, non-judgmental tone and grounded in both personal experience and psychological expertise, Dr. Williams walks readers through the complex landscape of emotional pain, trauma, self reflection and healing.

What stands out is her ability to translate clinical concepts into language that feels accessible and deeply human. She validates the reader’s feelings while gently offering tools and perspectives that can foster self-understanding and resilience. The exercises throughout the book are simple yet effective, encouraging reflection without pressure.

This book doesn’t promise quick fixes. Instead, it offers something far more valuable: a path to reconnecting with yourself, being curious and rebuilding from the inside out, and moving forward with intention.

Whether you’re navigating grief or suppressing, neurodiversity, burnout, trauma, or a general sense of disconnection or just understanding yourself better, What to Do If You Feel Broken feels like sitting down with someone friendly and normal who truly gets it and knows she can help. She has lived and breathed trauma and has shown unbelievable resilience and self reflection to be the person she is today.

It’s a powerful reminder that broken doesn’t mean beyond repair—and that healing, while not always linear, is absolutely possible no matter how long it has taken you to reach this point.

Truly inspiring. A must read.
