What the Therapist is Reading

Radical Acceptance

Great book for those who are looking to build a greater understanding of themselves and find peace and acceptance for who they are. I loved this book and find that it is helpful to use as a prompt for journaling.

Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things

This book is enlightening on the topic of hoarding. It helps us to understand our connection with objects and how this relates to other forms of anxiety.

The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety

This is one of my favorite workbooks. I have had several clients enjoy our work through this book. It helped them identify goals and maintain motivation to fight the anxiety that they live with everyday. It is a great workbook for those who are starting to understand how their anxiety interferes with their life and why it is important to increase awareness and mindfulness during the transformation process.

The Mindful Couple

I have had good results with both men and women who read this book. It is a helpful tool to building acceptance of your partner and not letting your differences drive you apart.

The Cow in the Parking Lot"

Absolutely wonderful. This book is the simplest form of anger management. After leading court ordered anger management for a couple of years and reading several books about anger management, I finally found one that relates to almost everyone. It is quick and simple but it does the trick. You will learn to ask for the things that you need and realize that unmet demands are the most common trigger for anger and teach you ways to better cope with your feelings.

the The Worry Cure by Robert Leahy. You can purchase the Worry Cure Online at Amazon.com

This is a very helpful read. I have had several clients read this book and find new coping strategies to help with their symptoms of anxiety. Dr. Robert Leahy describes the difference between productive and unproductive worry, as well as, an evaluation tool that will help you to identify your top three areas of worry. I highly recommended this book and incorporate it in sessions often.
