I have used this workbook time and time again since I began doing therapy with clients. This research-based workbook presents the concepts of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and anxiety in terms kids can understand within their own lives, and provides empowerment. This is a required workbook for any of my child or adolescent clients struggling with worry or anxiety.

I’ve read twenty plus books on ADHD and this is the best, hands down. It offers a practical, non-sugarcoated blend of real-life anecdotes, science, tips and solutions all in an easy to read format.

This book is also required reading for any of my supervisees who want to work with couples.

I first heard about this book from a presenter in a training I was attending and I added it to my list of books to read. I am so glad I read this book! This book is geared towards veterans but is a must read for anyone interested in learning how our brain respond to stress and how resiliency is strengthen.

This is an invaluable supplement to the work clients do with me in session. Most of the between session work I assign comes from this workbook as it encourages clients to apply the topics discussed in session to real-life situations. Using this workbook between session can help deepen the therapeutic experience.

I love this book for parents and teens, read together or separately! Doctor Dan Seigel takes you through the “E.S.S.E.N.C.E. of adolescents” by educating parents and teens on what’s happening with the brain during this sometimes trying period of development. The book also includes mindfulness and meditation exercises which both parents and teens can learn together.

This was the required handbook for my training the Grief Recovery Institute where I became certified in the Grief Recovery Method. My experience with the Grief Recovery Method was life changing! The concepts of the Grief Recovery Method are presented in an easy to read format with real-life examples. This is a required book for clients interested in completing the grieving process and moving towards recovery via The Grief Recovery Method.

I’ve referred this book to my friends with kids. Any parent or caregiver who wants a deeper understanding of childhood development, and to learn how to encourage healthy development of every part of a child’s brain should read this book. It’s an easy and interesting read.
