For clients with body image issues: Body Kindness by Rebecca Scritchfield (works for MS-related weight gain too) Trauma: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Fear of Aging (or ending up in a long-term care home): Being Mortal by Atul Gawande Chronic Disease: When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate (I particularly liked the chapter that deals with MS) The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge Depression & Anxiety: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle The Dalai Llama’s Little Book of Inner Peace “I’m not sure what the problem is”: Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown (except we MS'ers know full-well what the problem is; still this is a good read Low Self-Esteem: This Messy, Magnificent Life by Geneen Roth and of course (blatant self-advertising alert here) for dealing with MS: A Quiet Roar by Heidi Redl
