Suggested Reading
Over the years clients and students ask me for book suggestions to help them understand what they are feeling and how they can help themselves. Here is a bibliography for those who want to know a little more than they do now about the human body and how it functions and integrates into a whole person.
As I find new books and articles, I will add them. Here are some titles that I highly recommend:
