Everything to know

About the Book

I Give Myself Permission is an invitation to stop holding back. Whether it’s fear, pressure, perfectionism, or the belief that you have to do everything for everyone else first, this book helps you name what’s in the way and take real steps forward.

 

Through honest stories, practical tools, and deep reflection, Dr. George James walks alongside you as you learn to give yourself permission: to rest, to lead, to speak up, to heal, to love, to let go, and to grow. This book isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about living with intention, creating stronger relationships, and learning to trust yourself again—one choice at a time.

the Author

Dr. George James is a therapist, executive coach, speaker, and proud dad who believes in helping people show up fully: for themselves and the people they love. 

 

He’s spent over 20 years walking alongside individuals, couples, families, and leaders as they navigate relationships, tough decisions, and the deeper work of personal growth. 

 

George has had to give himself permission too—to take bold steps, to slow down, to build a life aligned with who he really is. He’s a lifelong Eagles and Phillies fan, a believer in honest conversation, and someone who’s still learning every day. I Give Myself Permission is both the heart of his work and the message he lives by.
