Therapy and Mental Health

Anxiety - Dr. Mark Cross | Ken Reid Coaching

This book explains the spectrum of anxiety and the struggles with combatting this mental health challenge.

Learned Optimism - Martin E. P. Seligman | Ken Reid Coaching

This book explains depression and how learned helplessness can cause rumination and victimhood that makes us feel as though we’re never going to feel good about ourselves. It talks about how learned optimism leads us out of depression and makes us feel better about ourselves.

Your Mental Mess - Dr. Caroline Leaf | Ken Reid Coaching

This book is one of my favourites for explaining the technique of metacognition and curing any thought that is causing us pain, frustration, anxiety or depression. It’s a must read for emotional and mental regulation.
