My Self Care Book and YouTube Video List.

The following YouTube Channel called “Self Care and Anti Burnout” on the link below contains useful introductory chapters on some of the following book links. These books have taken the edge of the sadness in my life and taught me what to do better. I would recommend seeing a doctor / counsellor / psychiatrist / talking therapies whichever is more relevant if your life is feeling hopeless or getting you down. However these books helped me with a general sense of confusion about life and not being able to tackle things. They are best done with a counsellor or someone you can get advice from to check you have understood the contents and are applying it correctly. However I read them on my own after being introduced to the field of self-care by taking courses in stress management and worry.
