🌿 Therapy Tools Spotlight: Books That Inspire Growth
I enjoy sharing resources that support reflection, self-compassion, and emotional well-being. While therapy offers a personalized healing space, books can improve insight and growth between sessions or when therapy isn’t accessible.
Here are three I’ve learned from recently:
📘 Let Them — Mel Robbins
A compassionate reminder to release control and honor boundaries. This book encourages allowing others to be who they are — and choosing peace and self-trust instead of over-functioning or people-pleasing.
📙 Good Inside — Dr. Becky Kennedy
A thoughtful, connection-focused parenting guide. Dr. Becky offers grounded strategies for understanding a child’s emotions and behavior while also caring for your own nervous system and needs as a parent.
📗 What Happened to You — Dr. Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey
A powerful trauma-informed look at how early experiences shape the brain and emotional responses. A compassionate read that shifts the lens from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” — and explores how connection and safety support healing.
