What to do between Sessions?

It is important to us to help contribute to the growth of the clients we serve between sessions. This allows you to:

Continue to process what came up in session
Reinforce a concept introduced to you in session
Heal at a more rapid pace if you choose

If you select a book off this list, or a book of your own, we invite you to share any insights that may come up with your therapist. Reading, podcasts, and other things you are exposed to are great for helping connect the dots that lead to a resolution of what bought you to therapy.

The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion is helpful for the person who wants to incorporate mindfulness as a daily practice of managing anxious thoughts and feelings.
