Books

Counseling Client

Counseling ClientThis book has good resources that will teach relaxation, mindfulness, the Big 4 and self talk. This is a good book to help withself care.

Counseling Client informs and guides the reader to actively participate with a counselor and be the agent of change in his or her own life, both in and out of therapy, and stands out in counseling literature because it is written from the perspective of a client. Numerous self-help and how-to books cover topics similar to the ones in our table of contents, but Counseling Client is much more than a self-help or how-to book. It’s an extension of the counseling process—a complementary guide to help clients not only be more effective during therapy sessions, but to also continue therapeutic work between appointments. Counseling Client merges the proactive aspects of self-help with the healing power of the client/therapist bond and inspires the client to progress actively and confidently through every stage of the counseling process. There is a need in counseling literature for a book that helps clients succeed in counseling. Counseling Client addresses this need: a book for clients, written by a client.

Self Care in a Crazy World – This book provides resources for self-care in a stressful and chaotic world and will help you develop resources, strength and resiliency.

Self-care is everything you do deliberately for your physical, emotional and mental well being to help you deal with life when it gets tough. As simple as it sounds, many of us pay little attention to self-care. This is why “deliberately” is one of the most important words in the definition. For most of us we are running so hard we don’t realize the fatigue and irritability of an exhausted life. You need to be conscious of your well-being before you can achieve true self-care.
