Self-help
For many of the psychological problems we encounter, there really is no substitute for seeking help from professionals who are very experienced in dealing with challenges like depression, anxiety, phobias, or self-esteem.
However, often people don't feel comfortable taking their problems to a stranger, and would prefer to work through and resolve issues on their own, or with family and friends.
If you fall into this category, take a look at the resources I have put together on this page - some are books, some are downloadable products, some are free to aqcuire, some incur a small fee, but all are designed to show you ways of resolving life's challenges.
*NB. I use these two books personally in my professional work with children - they are a fantastic starting point
if you want to help yourself overcome challenges like social anxiety, phobias, depression. Well worth a read! Gary.
