Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been listening to a variety of books on the Libby app using my library card. Some books I've enjoyed so much, I ordered a hard copy so I could highlight it and take notes. Each book has offered practical and valuable insights and I wanted to share them with you. Below, you’ll find brief descriptions of these books—see if any catch your interest!

Drawing from her experience as a therapist, Tawwab provides strategies and real-life examples to help readers implement boundaries effectively, emphasizing self-care and communication skills.
I’ve also read three books by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD – “Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People”, “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents”, and “Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents”. Each offers unique insights into managing relationships with emotionally immature individuals.
