Recommended Resources

I appreciate that therapy can be a big investment for some and therefore many may want to try some proven methods by themselves before taking the next step and engaging a psychologist.  I've therefore compiled a handful of resources that have helped many people to deal with their troubles successfully.  

Headspace - this is a highly recommended app to help you learn mindful meditation.  Mindfulness can appear to be some nonsensical psychobabble yet there is a great deal of evidence to suggest otherwise.  It's a centuries-old practice in some parts of the world and allows us to experience life rather than struggle with it.

​Mark Williams is one of the leading lights in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.  He's a Professor at Oxford University and has really developed mindfulness into it's current therapeutic form.  His books are highly recommended.

Robert Sapolsky is a Professor of Biology and Neurology at Stanford University in the US.  He's a highly acclaimed science writer and his book, why zebras don't get ulcers, is an extremely accessible account of the serious impact that stress has on the human body.  Stress causes real physiological damage to humans and Sapolsky really demonstrates that with this insightful text.  He's also written many other books that I've not read (yet).
