Sometimes education is the best tool for creating growth and change. It can give you a perspective you did not have before and help you to feel less alone with the issues you are facing. So, in therapy I often recommend books for clients to read on a variety of issues.   I hope you find something helpful here. If there is an issue you are facing that is not represented here, send me an e-mail and I will be glad to offer a recommendation if I can.
