What happens when a clinical psychologist and expert on women’s mental health, postpartum depression, grief, and parenting finds her world turned upside down? After her sister and brother-in-law die, Dr. Christina Hibbert inherits her two nephews, delivers her 4th baby, and goes from three to six kids practically overnight. This is How We Grow invites readers into Dr. Hibbert’s upside-down world as she fights to find a little right-side-up. A deeply personal true story blended with psychological insights, This is How We Grow offers an intimate glimpse into the doctor becoming the patient as Dr. Hibbert struggles to put her theories and expertise to the test in an effort to grow a new family and grow herself. Following four years and four seasons, Dr. Hibbert’s story explores such topics as death and suicide, loss and grief, motherhood, marriage, sisters, family, relationships, spirituality, self-worth, joy, and love. This Is How We Grow demonstrates how hard life can be. Yet it also illustrates how, when we choose to grow, we can and will overcome, become and eventually, flourish.

Before reading this book, I had never heard of Dr. Hibbert - but came across her blog and the book after scouring some online articles about women's mental health and therapy. I'm a mid-30's woman with a Ph.D. and share some similar experiences as the author (loss, grief, motherhood, spirituality, and therapy). Remember, this book is a personal memoir of one woman's story - it might not be your story at all - and it might not help you with your story. While I personally enjoyed the book and related to much of what was written, the book tells a story of how a very privileged woman navigates tough life circumstances. My only critique of the book is that it doesn't really speak to women who struggle with these same issues but don't have the same financial and educational resources, the spouse, the grandparents, the luxurious vacations, the ability to stay at home and work one day per week, the expensive therapist, the good attorneys, and healthy children. "Growing" through life struggles is much more difficult for women who don't have these resources - and unfortunately the majority of women who need help coping through loss, motherhood, depression, and self-worth will never have this lifestyle. I'd love to see Dr. Hibbert acknowledge this and offer some alternative options for those who are different from her.Product details

This Is How We Grow A Psychologist Memoir of Loss Motherhood Discovering SelfWorth Joy One Season at a Time Christina G Hibbert PsyD 9780615918976 Books Reviews
This is a great book written in an interesting format. It is part psychologist knowledge and part memoir. It is terrific. I learned a lot from the psychologist view on how to actually take good, cleansing, deep breaths and also to stop asking "why" questions and start asking "how" questions. Such a great and informative read. Also, the memoir parts are remarkable. What Christina endured and overcame is incredible. It was a great read and I learned so much about myself and the grief I have gone through. Great read-I highly recommend it.
I could not put this book down. The experiences that Christina shared were so personal and detailed, I felt like I was there, experiencing them with her, and I had to see how it turned out. But the best parts of the book were the lessons and insights that Christina taught and shared, interspersed with her personal story. These ideas of "how to grow" are great for not only dealing with death and grief, but also with many of life's other stresses. The emotions and feelings that Christina talked about are common to most of us women and it was so easy to relate to. This is a book that can and should be read and re-read to really help us "grow".
Dr. Hibbert does a wonderful job with this memoir. Her story is gutsy and heart-wrenching. Be prepared for a no-holds-barred account of a real family surviving the pain of loss and adjusting to a new reality."This is How We Grow" draws you in and begs you to root for Dr. HIbbert as she perseveres through one difficulty after another. This book stands out as an inspiration to us all. It's a reminder that we can overcome our trials and emerge a stronger person, a little bruised but rich in wisdom, patience, and gratitude.
I downloaded this book after a recommendation from a family member. I was immediately invested in the lives of a family who had suffered so much pain, and come out on the other side of life with equally as much joy. I found the story compelling, and inspirational. I rode the roller coaster of emotions along with Christi. I am grateful for her insight into grief, joy and coping. It was interesting to learn her perspective of life in each of her many "roles". That of mother, sister, child, therapist and friend. This book is about all aspects of life, and everyone can find something to enrich their own life. I highly recommend this book to any and all, no matter what their "role" is.
Best $ I ever spent on a book!

First of all, this was an excellent book. This won't be an in-depth review of the book itself, but I wanted to preface and say that I will first give my (slight) critiques before the praise. I've had the privilege of hearing Dr. Hibbert teach at an intimate church gathering, and that somewhat personal connection led me to her blog, and then this book.
It took me a couple of chapters to get the flow of this book. Each chapter begins with a lesson, followed by relevant journal entries from the author's actual journals. At first, this set-up seemed a bit awkward to me, and I had a hard time understanding the rhythm and sequencing of the book. However, I soon got past it and was able to even appreciate it towards the end. The second critique I have is not necessarily a critique, but just that at times I did not relate to the author since we are somewhat different in many aspects. I'm sure (100%) that this is unintentional, but I often felt lazy in comparison to Dr. Hibbert and all that she accomplished. I felt very out-of-touch with my own sense of self and my life purpose, which isn't a bad thing because this book is helping me realize where I need to GROW. (Ha?)
And that is why I loved this book. It made me want to improve. I've been inspired to write in my journal again, which hasn't happened in four years. I've been inspired to write in other ways more, and to put an effort into things that make me happy--being creative. I read straight through the kindle edition of this book, but I would love to pickup a hard copy to highlight and refer back to, to actively work on each lesson. I'm inspired to work on growing where I'm at, even if it's not an ideal place to be. There have been a lot of changes in my life lately, and though I'm no psychologist and my "trauma" not so severe, I recognize in myself some of the symptoms and behaviors exhibited in this book. I've realized that I've become someone I don't want to be, and I've also been very self-deprecating. I only wish I had the means to see a therapist, because I feel I could benefit greatly from that (just as many of us could, I'm sure!).
While this review is a bit lengthy and a bit personal, I felt it was the best reflection of what Dr. Hibbert was trying to inspire when she wrote her story.
