Atomic Habits by James Clear

I think this is a great handbook especially for people who experience ADHD symptoms - worth keeping on hand for when life has caused habits to take a 'back seat' and one has to start over again. Matter of fact suggestions and lots of very useful content.

Addicted To Anxiety by Owen O'Kane

I listened to this audio book to understand how it had helped one of my clients - the author narrates it and it's true - his tone and compassionate attitude alone helps reset the nervous system - full of therapeutic advice and valuable insights.

The Dose Effect by T.J.Power

This is a fantastic and straightforward summary of the ‘feel good’ chemicals we need to feel healthy and happy in life. It was brought to my attention by a client and I am reading it for a second time – some great content to keep in mind if we start to lose ground in looking after ourselves – I’m a big fan of this book!

A Therapist's Guide to EMDR by Laura Parnell

I have included this here as it's a really great introduction for anyone giving consideration to seeking EMDR sessions, and would like to do some research. Laura Parnell offers a comprehensive overview without the subject matter becoming too bogged down with 'jargon'

 

Whole Brain Living by Jill Bolte Taylor

If you have never watched the Ted Talk 'A Stroke Of Insight' then you are in for a treat. This book is by the amazing neuroanatomist and seemingly beautiful person who is JBT - it contains great guidance around understanding what makes up 'consciousness' and suggests that by developing an understanding of the way our brain cells operate in their different grouping we can minimise unhappiness and anxiety. Topics are presented and discussed with precision and love - it is quite moving to digest in parts.
