A Practical Guide to Therapy, by Julee Pinel

A Practical Guide to Therapy, is available now, with an accompanying Journal available soon. 

A Practical Guide to Therapy is a self-help book designed to accompany you on your therapeutic journey, providing context and clarity alongside your sessions. It complements, not replaces, professional guidance, offering accessible insights to help you navigate your path. The advice within is general and informational, not a substitute for therapy, medical advice, or crisis intervention. If you are in crisis, please seek immediate professional help. Each chapter is standalone, allowing you to begin at any point that resonates with your needs. At the end of many chapters, you’ll find prompt sheets and how-to guides with practical tools to support your progress. Whether you’re starting therapy or reflecting on how far you’ve come, this book celebrates your courage in seeking self-understanding and offers reminders of your worth through challenging times. For psychologists, this guide provides ready-to-use resources for clients. Chapters are designed for easy sharing, and the "Practical Skills" sections offer actionable strategies to help clients build lasting habits and coping mechanisms. References ensure each chapter is a complete, independent resource.
