what I often share
For me, sharing is about offering what’s moved me, inspired me, or helped me grow. It’s about connection — and the quiet power of knowing that something meaningful to one person might just land at the right moment for someone else.
Below are some books, videos, and resources that I’ve found personally helpful on my own journey, and that I often find myself recommending to clients, friends, and family. I hope something here speaks to you too, in your own time and in your own way.
The Child In You
In The Child In You, bestselling author and psychologist Stefanie Stahl shares her proven approach for solving this -- by befriending our inner child. Powerful, imaginative and practical -- with clever exercises, from "the three positions of perception" to over-writing old memories -- she shows how in today's anxious world we can renounce our 'shadow child', embrace our 'sun child', and find the answer to all the psychological problems that come from our upbringing.
The Body Keeps the Score
The effects of trauma can be devastating for sufferers, their families and future generations. Here one of the world's experts on traumatic stress offers a bold new paradigm for treatment, moving away from standard talking and drug therapies and towards an alternative approach that heals mind, brain and body.
The Examined Life
Psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz draws on his twenty-five years of work and more than 50,000 hours of conversations to form a collection of beautifully rendered tales that illuminate the human experience.
These are stories about everyday lives, about who we are and why we do what we do.
The Myth of Normal
Drawing on over forty years of clinical experience, he weaves together compelling stories and research to show how trauma, stress, and suppressed emotion contribute to illness — and how healing begins with reconnection. Both eye-opening and compassionate, this book offers a powerful perspective on how we might reclaim our wholeness in an increasingly fragmented world.
