Because of Us: Why Outcomes Change When We Do - Paperback

by Karen Dubin (Author), Mardoche Sidor (Author)

What if the reason some people don't heal, change, or thrive is... because of us?

Because of the way we see them, speak to them, believe in them-or don't.

This groundbreaking book confronts one of the most overlooked truths in mental health, human services, and leadership: our unexamined beliefs, unconscious biases, and habitual reactions may be the very thing holding others back.

Because of Us calls us into a radical self-inquiry, inviting every professional, practitioner, and caregiver to reflect on their mindset, attitude, and tone. Drawing from neuroscience, psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and lived experience, the authors offer a powerful framework for restoring unconditional positive regard-not as a concept, but as a daily practice.

Whether you're a social worker, clinician, case manager, teacher, leader, or advocate, this book will challenge you to look within, take action, and become a true catalyst for healing and growth-in others and in yourself.
