"The Pocket Therapist" by Therese J. Borchard
"Whenever Therese Borchard was weathering a personal storm, and help was nowhere to be found, her one guiding light was the question, "What would a therapist say?"

"The Road Less Travelled" by M. Scott Peck, M.D.
"Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid. And the very avoidance results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. ... Dr Peck discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to recognize true compatibility; how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person; how to be a more sensitive partner." - from Amazon

Thera-Flex Therapy Putty
