Welcome to What Your Therapists are Reading for July 2018! Check out the books and we hope you find one to read this summer!
Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America
by Ibram X. Kendi.
After hearing an interview with the author, I knew that I had a lot to learn about racism in order to best serve my diverse clientele. This book is detailed and astounding, and a must-read for everyone. It has helped me work to confront my own privilege, in a way that social work school did not. I highly recommend.

Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect by Jonice Webb, PhD.
This is one of those books that I think, I can’t believe I waited so long to read.

It also has a dedicated chapter for mental health professionals. You can connect with Jessica here.
