Kristy Attwooll & Associates is happy to recommend a number of books all of which provide helpful insights and can act as valuable adjuncts to therapy. However, it should be noted that these books are unlikely to provide the same support as professional one-to-one therapy can and are not suggested as a replacement for therapy.
