“Dr. Chloe courageously exposes the capture of psychology and the implications for our patients. There are dangers to patients and caretakers self censoring. There are dangers to limiting speech and Dr. Chloe points out the consequences. Psychologists are fearful of asking the most basic question including simply, "How do you feel?" Freedom to use words, freedom to maintain abject honesty, freedom to express emotions spontaneously are essential to the development of self efficacy and resilience and mental health. Dr. Chloe points out that words are not violence but they are the fundamental instruments of the mental health professional and there must be liberty in their use on behalf of our patients. ”

Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety, hit the shelves in March of 2021.
​
“Anxiety and stress are the number one epidemic of modern civilization. Frequently stressed people find themselves at the pinnacle of success at the cost of unhappy lives, fractured relationships, and unhealthy bodies. Their energy is wasted even though they may have an excess of it. If ‘high energy’ people learnt to harness their energy to go beyond reactive responses to modes of intuition, creativity, and emotional resilience, they would achieve even more by doing less and be happier and healthier. This book offers the tools they need.”
