Healing Narratives: A Therapeutic Book Club | September 2024

Healing Narratives is a community offering creating space for those interested in continuing their self exploration through reading. Hosted by a licensed therapist, Devin Hendrickson, LICSW, this book club is a safe space to process how therapeutic-related books impact your healing and personal growth. Books are a rich resource in therapeutic healing, and when combined with community they can be a powerful aid in the healing process. 

This book club might be for you if any of the below resonates with you:

• You connect with the themes and concepts of the book chosen for the month.
• You benefit from talking through therapeutic concepts.
• You don't have access to therapeutic services, and want a space led by a licensed therapist to better understand yourself through reading.
• You're looking for a space where others are experiencing similar challenges to validate and understand you.
• You enjoy reading and want to develop personal insight.

Come join us to discuss how these narratives help inform our therapeutic work-- We'd love to have you!

SEPTEMBER’S BOOK SELECTION

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents By Lindsay C. Gibson, Psy.D.

Growing up with emotionally immature or unavailable care-takers can leave an adult with lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, abandonment, and confusion.

Let's dive into beginning to understand the impacts of our childhood, and how to navigate healing from these childhood wounds to move forward toward a healthy adulthood.
