Resources and Tools
Here are some helpful resources and tools I typically encourage people I work with to use in and out of session; I hope you find them helpful.
Please be aware that using some of these resources and tools may uncover pain and trauma. If you are not currently working with a therapist or lack a strong support system, please use with caution, if at all. In times of crisis; call 988 or text 741741.
