Resources to Support You Between Sessions
Therapy is one part of the work. The rest happens in the days between sessions, in how you talk with your partner, how you speak to yourself, and what you practice when things get hard. I’ve gathered the books and tools I recommend most often, grouped by what you might be looking for. Take what’s useful, leave what isn’t, and bring anything that stirs something up to our next session.
Strengthening Your Relationship
Healthy relationships are built through small, repeated moments of attention, repair and understanding. These are the resources I turn to most with couples who want practical tools for communication and connection.
Understanding Your Patterns and Your Past
The way we relate to ourselves and others often has roots we haven’t looked at yet. These books can help you recognize your patterns and begin to change them, alongside the work we do together.
Self-Compassion and Boundaries
Being kinder to yourself and clearer with others tends to improve every relationship you’re in. If you’re not sure where to start, begin here.
If You Need Support Right Now
If you’re in crisis or worried about your safety, call or text 988 anytime to reach the Suicide Crisis Helpline in Canada. If there is immediate danger, call 911.
