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. There is just so much out there. Youtube is a fantastic resource and for many people it is much easier to watch a video than to read an article. Also, sometimes other people may have a way saying things differently or in a way that really that really resonates or make sense.
