Welcome!
This is Conquer Your Pile of Wellness Books.
Hello my fellow book enthusiasts and wellness practitioners! I’m super excited to announce that beginning 2025, I will be starting a monthly virtual book club for mental wellness professionals whereby we will finally get to read the books on our nightstand, bookshelf, wish list, etc.
As a clinical social worker for the last 19 years, I’ve had numerous books that I’ve purchased that end up sitting on my shelves collecting dust.
While my intention is good, my follow through is not.
I mean, let’s face it, at the end of a long day of providing care to others, the last thing I want to do is expose my mind, body and spirit to work-related materials. Bedtime is my time to escape into a good fiction book.
So, that leads me with books that never get read because I’m either working, caring for my family or decompressing.
Hence, why I created this book club. Join me, for as little as a cup of coffee a month, where we will meet once a month and tackle the books we want to read chapter by chapter.
What titles will I be starting off with? Here are just a few titles that are currently sitting on my shelf…
What Happened to You by Oprah Winfrey & Bruce Perry
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson
Waking the Tiger by Peter A. Levine
Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté
Plus others. So, if you are into reading these kinds of books or have others, let me know!
Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe so you can stay up to date on the latest books we will be reading as well as rules of this Book club!
With much appreciation,
Christine
