Book/Podcast Recommendations

Therapy is great. Support groups are stellar. Sometimes getting extra support during "non-office" hours can be just what you need in the moment. 

​

The following are books or podcasts that may be beneficial for your own mental health journey. Please note some materials may be emotionally-triggering and/or overwhelming depending on your current state of mind. Take breaks when reading and be sure to call 988 or your therapist if you begin to experience thoughts of hurting yourself or others while reading.
