Becoming Whole Through Radical Self-Acceptance
Suzanne Jones
Do you ever feel not good enough? Are you constantly trying to fix yourself? Do you want to find your way back to the person who you know you are deep down?
Suzanne Jones has helped thousands of participants with her life-changing somatic healing program and has put the knowledge into the last self-help book you will ever need. She leads you on a journey back to your authentic self by guiding you through a personal exploration of recovery, growth, and resilience. There Is Nothing to Fix is The Power of Now meets the #MeToo movement. Interspersed with case studies and stories of real people—stories you can connect with—the book illustrates the power of Jones’s approach to create innate healing and hope.
Jones begins where most teachings on self-compassion, emotional regulation, and healthy relationships end, by going to the source of lasting change—the body. This book provides a practical lens through which readers can understand their responses and emotions while offering step-by-step guidance for changing these responses, all with an emphasis on compassion and empowerment. Through this revolutionary approach you will be able to experience true freedom from the constant urge to fix yourself from the outside. Jones teaches you everyday tools to build self-confidence, self-compassion, and most important, self-acceptance—tools that have been within you all along.
In today’s struggle to feel connection and approval in our chaotic and critical world, There Is Nothing to Fix teaches us how to suspend judgment, become curious, and find emotional freedom from within.

Reviews
“This is one of the best books on trauma ever written—and it’s much more than that. Fast-paced, grounded in science, full of practical suggestions, and always hopeful, it is about living with courage and joy no matter what. Sue Jones draws on her personal history and vast experience with body-oriented practices to offer an original and effective program that is deeply healing while bringing us home to our true nature. Comprehensive, humane, and inspiring, this is a gem of a book.” —Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness
“This is truly a remarkable and compelling work of nonfiction that focuses on trauma. The title, ‘There is Nothing to Fix’ implies that people with such disorders do not need to be ‘fixed’ because they are who they are. The book excels at removing stigmatization associated with people with such mental health conditions. It also advocates the notion that ‘normal’ people should really help the ones struggling with disabilities. This book is simply astounding!” —Nonfiction Authors Association
“There Is Nothing to Fix demands that we shift from a focus on trauma to engaging in the process of healing. Self-empowering and grounded in the blended wisdom of experience and science, it is a road map that recognizes the power of the individual to change the relationship they have with themselves as a pathway to happiness. I believe everyone will see themselves in Suzanne Jones’s journey of healing through self-discovery and finding peace and power on the other side.” —Jeannette Pai-Espinosa, president, National Crittenton
“In There Is Nothing to Fix, Sue Jones cuts straight to the heart of our core human wounds and lays out an accessible and embodied path to healing. In a book that manages to be both deeply personal and startlingly universal, she reminds us that the price of our survival does not have to be our authenticity or our joy. Start reading, and whatever your age, gender, or circumstance, Sue’s clear and compassionate voice will help you write a more powerful story for yourself.”
—Jennifer Cohen Harper, author of Thank You Body, Thank You Heart and founder of Little Flower Yoga
“There Is Nothing to Fix is strongly rooted in both experiential and empirical evidence. Sue shares her story authentically, inviting readers in while also sharing tools of TIMBo in an accessible way. TIMBo is a valuable technique for embodied healing, and one that works—I have witnessed this both through personal accounts and empirical data, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to share the story of TIMBo through my research.” —Danielle Rousseau, PhD, LMHC, assistant professor, Department of Applied Social Sciences, Boston University
