External Resources
Navigating the World Wide Web for the resources you want can be overwhelming, to say the least. Here are a variety of resources created by folks other than myself that I offer to clients, depending on what we’re working on. I can’t promise they’ll be right for you (or that this list will stay up to date), but I hope it can help you get started on your journey of self-exploration and improved well-being.
If you have resources in mind that you believe could fit well on this list, I’d be happy to hear about them.

The Insight Timer app is rich with guided meditations, whether you use the free version of the app or pay an annual fee for the extended version.
I particularly like the offerings of Sarah Blondin (especially if you are feeling depressed and needing a boost of self-compassion) and sound baths offered by Shawn Moore.
American psychologist and meditation teacher Tara Brach has many guided meditations on Soundcloud (although you can find her on other platforms, too). RAIN can be a particularly meaningful approach for finding acceptance when you are distressed.
