Resources

I am using this page to assemble resources that may be useful to those who are either in therapy or are thinking about it. It is work in progress and I would be pleased to take suggestions about what I might include here.

Any time a voice is talking to you that is not talking with love and compassion, DON’T BELIEVE IT! … Even if it’s talking about someone else, don’t believe it. Even if it is directed at someone else, it is the voice of your own self-hate. It is simply hating you through an external object.

Links and Contact Details

Click here for a special page which gives links and contact details for useful national and local organisations. I do want you to call me, but it seems fair that you should know what else is out there.

At the moment I know virtually nothing about organisations specific to Scotland or the Stirling area, but I aim to put that right in the next few months. Suggestions very welcome.

Organisations listing therapists and counsellors are set out on the Really Important Questions page.
