Carry Your Own Backpack is a self-help guide to emotional well-being from award-winning mental health coach and psychotherapist Holly A. Schneider.

Based on two simple principles-what you pay attention to grows, and what you carry builds strength-this powerful book will help you choose what to carry and what to let go to lighten your journey through this world.

By defining your healthy emotional boundaries, you'll learn the difference between what belongs to you, what belongs to others, and what belongs to God. Better yet, you'll learn how to apply those boundaries, even under the most difficult circumstances, to protect your own mental health.



Throughout these pages, Holly A. Schneider bravely unpacks the experiences of her past, showing you how to unpack your backpack to become the best version of yourself. As you apply these emotional, cognitive, and behavioral skills in every aspect of your life, step by beautiful step, your heart will lighten in a way you never thought possible.
