Helpful  & Informative websites

There are some great resources on the Net.  I am a big fan of self help and educating yourself.  I certainly do not profess to be the holder of all information on mental health or psychotherapy  (but I do know quite a bit).  That would be impossible.  It is really empowering for YOU  to seek out information for yourself but make sure it is from a reliable source and if you are not sure, check it out with your therapist.
