In What They Forgot to Teach You at School, readers are invited to explore the essential emotional lessons often overlooked in traditional education.

The author emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence, addressing topics such as trust, resilience, and the effects of childhood trauma. Each lesson is presented with clarity and empathy, encouraging readers to reflect on their experiences and develop a deeper understanding of their emotions. From learning how to build meaningful connections to managing anxiety and shame, What They Forgot to Teach You at School serves as a guide for anyone seeking to enhance their emotional literacy.

By revisiting the lessons we missed in our formative years, we can equip ourselves with the tools needed to lead fulfilling lives. It’s an invitation to complete an education that is ongoing and essential for our well-being, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to thrive in a complex world.
