Resources I Often Recommend to my Clients
I'm always providing my clients with lots of resources. This includes books, scientific articles, podcasts, and other literature on whatever it is that we are currently working on. Here are just some of the resources which you might want to explore, even before you decide whether or not you want to work with me!
If we end up working together, I will also provide you with a list of support groups which might be helpful (and which will be tailored to the work we are doing concerning your specific former religion. I also provide clients with various in-person resources which might be available in their local area.
​
To be clear, I have no monetary interest in any of these resources.
