self-help books

A key component of therapy is self-help. I often say, “I can give you the skills and tools to be independent, but they won’t matter unless you use them. You see your therapist for one hour a week; the real work happens outside of that time.” Here is a list of self-help books I recommend in sessions to help you understand your experiences.

Recovery of Your Inner Child, Lucia Capaachione, Ph.D

What Happened to You, Bruce D. Perry, MD Ph.D & Oprah Winfrey
