"The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one." ~Oliver Goldsmith

Your therapist will often recommend readings throughout the course of treatment. The counselors at A Safe Place to Heal hve compiled a list of their favorites or those that have come highly recommended by fellow therapists. We encourage you to supplement your therapy by periodically selecting a book and reading it as you work together with your therapist.

 

*If you are working on sensitive issues such as abuse or trauma, please talk to your therapist before you begin reading about the issues you are facing, it could cause a set back.
