Resources
In counseling, I often use books with my clients because I believe in education. I will also recommend podcasts, and blogs in addition to books because I believe that there is power in knowledge, there is power in information, and there is power in wisdom. I also know that I do not know everything, I am not an expert, so providing other resources is important to my practice.
