Books can be an excellent resource for helping us further our understanding and identifying strategies to apply to problematic issues we encounter in our lives.
The following books are only suggestions. I have read numerous books in many subject areas. The following books are in my opinion, the most informative and practical I have read in these areas. My intention is only to share and pass along what I have found insightful and helpful in my practice.
I do not suggest that any of these books be used for self diagnosis or replacement of ongoing treatment. Consider them as a place to start.
