Book Recommendations from a Therapist
There is so much content available to us these days. The struggle is not finding something to read or watch or listen to, but what is worth reading or watching or listening to. I have curated a list of my favorite books on a variety of topics that I believe would benefit everyone. And don’t worry if you aren’t a reader, most are available as audiobooks as well!
Marriage & Relationships
Us: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships That Matter Most by Terrence Real
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman and Nan Silver
Sex
Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski
Trauma
The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk
Men’s Depression
I Don’t Want to Talk About It by Terrence Real
Building Healthy Habits
Atomic Habits by James Clear
As I shared at the beginning of this blog post, there are so many resources available to us, it can be overwhelming. It can be especially overwhelming to try and figure everything out on your own. If you feel like you would benefit from a therapist to help you regain your own sense of self, please reach out to our care specialist today!
