Recommended Reading

1. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman is one of my favorite books that I recommend to almost every couple I work with.   This is a very quick read that even someone who doesn't like to read can breeze right through in order to gain a new perspective on how to rekindle the romance in your relation.

2/3.      The Power of Now and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle were life changing books for me.  Tolle talks about the complexities of our inner monologues and how they control us.  His writings also guide you through freeing yourself from the negativity we encounter in our daily lives.

 

4. The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce by Judith S Wallerstein is the culmination of a longitudinal study perfomed by Wallerstein.  Her researched looked at children of divorce and how the aftermath of their parent's divorce impacted their lives. 

5.      Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend is my favorite book about boundaries that I have read.  It is writen with from a Christian perspective.  The authors do a wonderful job of describing all the ways that boundaries can be violated and why they are so important to have.

6.  Mindsight by Dr. Siegel is a book I am currently in the midst of reading.  Case histories are used to demonstrate how our emotions and our brains are deeply entwined.  I honestly don't know how to describe how fascinating this book is.  Thus far, this book has left me feeling hopeful and inspired.

7.  The Gift of Fear has been on my "To Read" list for a while now.  I heard about it on Oprah.  I have learned the hard way to listen to my instincts and I am looking foward to what I can gleen from Gavin De Becker.  If you have read it, please let me know what you think!

8. This book covers it all!  What I love about Laura Berman is that she is so comprehensive and has wonderful ideas about how to deal with anything.  She discusses how to communicate with your partner in order to facilitate a healthy sex life, anatomy, different sexual positions, and much, much more.  Read it, highlight it, write in it and share it with your partner.  Have fun. :)


9. This is another book that I have not read yet but has come recommended from a collegue and friend. bullying is definitely a hot topic right now and if/when your child comes home from school talking about being bullied it is so hard to know how to counsel your child.  Maybe this book can help you.   


This is only the beginning! As I continue to read, I will update my list.  If you have any books you'd like to recommend or if you have a review to share about one of these books, I'd love to hear what you have to say.
