The Healing Bookshelf by Dr. Laura Blair https://padlet.com/drlaura/healingbookshelf As a counselor, I've encountered books that have profoundly influenced my practice and deepened my understanding of the human experience. This space is dedicated to sharing those meaningful reads that have enhanced my ability to support others in their healing journeys. I'll be sharing books that have shaped my approach to therapy, expanded my clinical toolkit, and touched my heart as a practitioner. Note: All recommendations (except where noted) come from personal experience and professional growth - no affiliate links or promotional content included (except for the books I wrote... obviously). en-us 2025-04-04 17:42:59 UTC 2026-03-01 16:54:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/png/1f913.png The First Interview drlaura https://padlet.com/drlaura/healingbookshelf/wish/3396370728 James Morrison
