Resources

The following books are valuable resources that Sonia refers to regularly. During the course of your treatment, she may recommend reading one or more of them between sessions. If you would like to buy any of them to keep yourself, all can be purchased online.

Anxiety Management

A strategy-filled handbook to understand, manage, and conquer your own stress. Panic, generalised anxiety, and social anxiety are among the most common and pervasive mental health complaints.

Author Margaret Wehrenberg, a leading mental health clinician, draws on basic brain science to highlight the top ten anxiety-defeating tips. Everything from breathing techniques and mindful awareness to cognitive control and self-talk is included. 

Stress

Can a person literally die of loneliness? Is there a connection between the ability to express emotions and Alzheimer’s disease? Is there such a thing as a ‘cancer personality’?

Drawing on scientific research and the author’s decades of experience as a practicing physician, When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress provides answers to these and other important questions about the effect of the mind-body link on illness and health and the role that stress and one’s individual emotional makeup play in an array of common diseases.

 

For Women

Do you often feel overwhelmed? Or in a daily battle to keep up, rarely getting through your never-ending to-do list, at times feeling out of control and as though you’re surviving rather than thriving? If so, you may be experiencing the first signs of Rushing Woman’s Syndrome…

This perceived need to rush and the relentless pursuit to be all things to all people is causing detrimental changes to our bodies and driving a long-term crisis in women’s health.

Healing Trauma

Survivors of accidents, disaster, and childhood trauma often endure lifelong symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to unexplained physical pain, fatigue, illness, and harmful ‘acting out ‘behaviours.

In Healing Trauma, Dr. Levine gives you the personal how-to guide for using the theory he first introduced in his highly acclaimed work Waking the Tiger. Join him to discover: how to develop body awareness to “renegotiate” and heal traumas by “revisiting” them rather than reliving them; emergency “first-aid” measures for times of distress; and nature’s lessons for uncovering the physiological roots of your emotions.”
