My Freaking Journal for My Freaking Mental Health (because my therapist says it's good for me)
One of our therapists created this beautiful journal with the support, assistance, and encouragement of her sister.
It is full-color throughout, and offers daily structured journal prompts to help practice daily self-care and self-awareness. The journal also includes several pages of mental health information that help you learn new tools for working with topics such as self-compassion, unhelpful thinking patterns, conflict management, and more!
It makes a great companion to the work you are doing with your therapist, or as a stand alone journal you work through on your own. (*Not intended to be a substitute for professional advice.)
Available on Amazon in both paperback and hardback (Heirloom Edition). A black and white edition is also available. *Note: Sharree does receive royalties from the sell of this book.
Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff
Dr. Kristin Neff is one of the foremost researchers on self-compassion. In this book, she breaks down myths about self-compassion and shows through her own journey as well as her research, how self-compassion is the force that invites healing and growth in our lives. Total game changer!

Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown
As therapists, we spend a lot of time helping clients learn to understand, recognize, name, and work with their emotions.
This book by Dr. Brown is basically the encyclopedia of emotions. She has broken down nearly 100 emotions into general categories and then dives into each--providing easy to read descriptions, and scenarios that are all too relatable in the unique and human way that only she can.
The print version is full of beautiful artwork as well (and you can get a PDF version of the art with the audio book). Not only is it a helpful resource and tool, it makes a beautiful display book as well.
