Have you ever wondered what books mental health professionals actually read to help them in their work with clients?Not the clinical or theoretical ones — but the books you could actually pick up, read, and find helpful.Well you're in luck because I'm starting a new monthly series I’ll be doing this year called The Therapist’s Bookshelf.Each month, I’ll read one book and then come on here to talk about it — what stood out to me, what challenged me, what I loved, what I didn’t love, and how I think about the ideas as both a therapist and a human. Most of these books are new to me, and a couple are ones I’m revisiting because they mattered that much.Think of it like a laid-back book club — a space to talk honestly about ideas that help us understand ourselves, our relationships, and the hard parts of being human.The books in this series touch on things like change, emotions, trauma, relationships, boundaries, habits, and meaning. Some are practical. Some are deeper. I’ve intentionally chosen a mix, knowing that different books will resonate with different people.You’re welcome to read along each month — or not. You can simply listen to the episodes as they come out and take what’s helpful. Physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks are all welcome here.The Therapist’s Bookshelf — Full Reading ListHere is the complete reading list for the series, in the order we’ll be moving through it:January: Tiny Habits — BJ FoggFebruary: How to Keep House While Drowning — KC DavisMarch: Man’s Search for Meaning — Viktor FranklApril: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone — Lori GottliebMay: Set Boundaries, Find Peace — Nedra Glover TawwabJune: The New Rules of Marriage — Terrence RealJuly: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents — Lindsay C.
