About
Valerie vest
The Solution Method was born through Valerie Vest’s own journey of searching for practical tools to better understand emotions, patterns, and personal growth. After years of exploring both traditional and non-traditional approaches to healing and self-awareness, Valerie began developing structured tools focused on emotional intelligence, reflection, communication, and intentional change. Valerie has spent over eight years working as a mentor within emotional intelligence and personal development, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Education. What began as a personal search, has grown into a lifelong dedication to helping others in their emotional freedom.
what is tsm?
The Solution Method is a practical emotional intelligence workbook designed to help you better understand yourself through reflection, awareness, and real-life application. The book includes guided tools, exercises, challenges, and emotional processing techniques intended to help you actively work through different experiences as they arise throughout life. Rather than being something you read once, this work is designed to be revisited and reused as new emotions, relationships, conflicts, and patterns emerge.
The book explores topics including authenticity, survival responses, trust, emotional processing, judgment, compassion, vulnerability, comparison, self-worth, balance, communication, and behavioral patterns while encouraging intentional action and self-reflection throughout the process. Whether used independently or within the structured 16-week course, The Solution Method is intended to help create a deeper understanding of yourself and the ways your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences interact with one another.

Recover Without Walls
Supporting Women in Recovery from Substance Use Disorder, Trauma, and PTSD.
With Gratitude,
Samantha Franco
"As a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women heal and rebuild their lives, we have witnessed firsthand the profound transformation that occurs when women are given a safe and supportive environment to do deep emotional healing work.
Through The Solution Method, Valerie Vest creates a compassionate and trauma-informed space where women are able to reconnect with themselves, process unresolved pain, establish healthy boundaries, and rediscover their self-worth.
Many women entering recovery carry years of emotional wounds, isolation, shame, and trauma. Valerie's approach through The Solution Method offers not only healing tools, but also a sense of connection, understanding, and empowerment that is often missing in traditional recovery settings.
We have seen women gain confidence, strengthen their voices, build healthier relationships, and develop a renewed sense of purpose and self-love through this work.
Recover Without Walls wholeheartedly recommends Valerie Vests and The Solution Method to any woman seeking meaningful healing, emotional growth, trauma recovery, and empowerment. We believe this work is a valuable and transformative resource for women committed to living healthier, more connected, and authentic lives."
