Resources When Professional
Help is Needed
By Renee
Payan Wong, Webmaster
At Learning Place
Online we encourage you to stretch yourself beyond the comfort zone
where you're most familiar and truly become the best you can be.
Much of our material is designed to offer ways you can expand yourself
by utilizing your own inner resources. There are times, however,
when you may want a bit of help from others.
If you're not already familiar with personal
coaching, Can You Be Your Own Personal
Coach? introduces you to professionals who are able to help
you move most effectively toward your goals.
Sometimes, however, you may sense that your situation
needs a different kind of professional. Perhaps your relationship
is falling apart and you need a couples counselor. In the Relationships
section there are a number of articles by some excellent couples
counselors.
Then there are other issues that require a trained
mental health professional such as a psychiatrist, psychologist,
or marriage and family therapist. You panic in large crowds and
need both medication and a behavioral specialist. This is where
this section can help you.
We are pleased with the material we've collected
so far but want you to know that much more is coming. We've mined
the Internet's wealth of material and have grouped sites and articles
in the subsections on the rights. (See How
We Select Our Resources.)
New sections will be added in the future, including
(but not limited to): how to choose a therapist, domestic violence/abuse,
anger, types of therapy, relationship issues, and passive-aggressive
behavior. If you have any suggestions for helpful sites, please
e-mail me.
With all the emphasis on outside information,
we don't want to overlook the excellent original content we also
have in this section, including book
reviews by Lynne Azpeitia, MA, MFT, and Looking
Through More Than One Window, by Arlene Harder, MA, MFT.
Incidentally, if you are a member of the helping
professions and would like to submit an article for inclusion in
this section, please see Guidelines
