You Are Not Broken, by Melinda Zappone

Break Free from the Fixing Yourself Mindset with The Toolbox Approach

You are not broken. You never were.

In YOU ARE NOT BROKEN, Melinda Zappone, LMHC, CCTP2, LFYP invites you to step off the endless cycle of self-improvement and into a deeper, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Through Narrative Healing—the first phase of her groundbreaking Toolbox Approach™—you’ll uncover the stories that have shaped you, not to fix them, but to finally see them clearly. The first phase of healing in this approach acts as both an invitation and a call to action. Her three phases of healing are each equipped with tools and this book is your guide to what it could be like to finally approach your own story like your most important job. This job is to understand yourself and through that process, healing begins.

With warmth, directness, and a refusal to sugarcoat the truth, Zappone offers tools that don’t just tell you how to heal—they create healing in the very act of reading. Whether you’ve struggled with therapy, self-help, or simply don’t know where to begin, this book provides a structured yet intuitive path to self-awareness, emotional integration, and personal responsibility.

Your story isn’t finished. It’s time to stop searching for someone else to guide you and start trusting the one person who truly can—you.
