Mental Health Is a Lie: Why You Haven't Healed Yet-and the Missing Piece No One Taught You is a provocative, grounded invitation for those who have done the work, tried the tools, and still feel stuck. In this bold and compassionate book, Chief Wellness & Performance Strategist and Psychotherapist Maximus Lerois challenges the dominant mental health narrative-one that often labels pain, manages symptoms, and overlooks the deeper intelligence of the body, emotions, and nervous system. Rather than simply criticizing the system, Maximus offers a clear path forward. Blending client insights, lived experience, and neuroscience-backed practices, he introduces a practical framework for healing that prioritizes embodiment, emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, and daily integration-without shame, suppression, or bypassing. This book is for anyone who has ever asked:Why do I still feel anxious after years of therapy? Why does healing feel more complicated than the pain itself? Why do I feel disconnected or numb, even when life looks "fine"? Inside, you'll learn how to:Move beyond outdated healing models that keep you looping Understand the emotional and nervous system patterns driving your experience Regulate your emotions and retrain your nervous system without masking or numbing Build sustainable healing practices that support clarity, self-trust, and wholeness Mental Health Is a Lie is not a rejection of healing-it's a redefinition of it. If you're ready to stop chasing fixes and start building a life rooted in emotional truth, safety, and self-connection, this book offers the missing piece you've been searching for.
