Self Help Books
I’m a big advocate for using self-help resources to support change and fast-track the progress you’re seeking through counselling. With thousands of books available, here are a few I’ve personally found invaluable:
Judith Herman: Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice
Pema Chodron: Comfortable With Uncertainty
John Bradshaw: Home Coming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child
Lindsay C. Gibson: Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents
Silva Neves: Compulsive Sexual Behaviours
Richard Schwartz: No Bad Parts
Eric Berne: Games People Play
Pia Mellody: Facing Codependence
Paul Gilbert: The Compassionate Mind
Patrick Carnes: Out Of the Shadows: Understanding Sexual Addiction
Irvin Yalom: Staring at the Sun
