So much of our therapy and healing actually happens outside of the actual session. So I like to offer up these suggestions for those who really want to enhanse or extend the process. Although reading is not for everyone, I can assure you that there is not a boring read in this list. Of course, if you are not interested in a particular subject here (like Spirituality or the Martial Arts) you may not be interested in that particular work either. You might want to give it a shot anyway. Enjoy!
