Here is where I like to post information and links to useful websites, books, services, articles, and other interesting things that can help you to live a more vibrant life! Keep checking back here often; I will update as I discover new resources for you. (I do not receive any type of reimbursement for listing or linking any of these products or services.
PARENTING BOOKS
The best general parenting book for navigating teen issues is "1-2-3 Magic Teen" by Dr. Thomas Phelan (Sourcebooks, 2016). So much of my work with adolescents could be enhanced and the results of therapy appear more quickly if the parents would simply read and apply the information in this book.
MONEY ISSUES
If your self esteem is entwined with your earning, spending power, debts, and the latest high fashion labels, the best general book on addressing this issue is "The Money Trap" by Ron Gallen (HarperResource, 2003).
EMOTIONAL REGULATION for ADULTS
I like "The Dialectical Behavior Skills Therapy Workbook," by Matthew McKay, Matthew Wood, and Jeffrey Brantley (New Harbinger, 2007). It can help you learn mindfulness, distress tolerance, effectiveness within personal relationships, and of course emotional regulation. It can be used as a stand alone self-help book. I reference it in sessions to help some clients learn these valuable skills.
