Make Time for Reading

Reading can be deeply nourishing for the soul and serves as a valuable complement to the therapeutic process. If you find it challenging to engage with an entire book, it's perfectly acceptable to explore select sections and focus on what resonates with you most.

The following books have been meaningful in my own professional journey and reflect my ongoing commitment to growth, learning, and the integration of knowledge into clinical practice.
