The internet can be both a treasure trove of insightful content and entertainment, and also a source of overwhelming information. That’s why the BTP team has come together to curate a Therapist‘s Corner post for you.

November’s Therapist‘s Corner includes a selection of the best TV shows, books, podcasts, blogs, resources, quotes and memes (both classic and new) that we’ve come across to support you in your therapy and counselling work.

Our goal is to educate, inform and occasionally bring a smile to your face, and make your online experience a little more enjoyable.

Books

“Bodylistening” – Tim Brown

Bodylistening offers an inviting, down-to-earth introduction to body psychotherapy, treating mind, body, and spirit as an interconnected whole. Tim Brown weaves together theory, history, and personal stories to show how embodied awareness can deepen what happens between therapist and client. He gives a clear sense of what a face-to-face somatic session might actually feel like—the language used, the subtle shifts in the room, and the ways two people might explore breath, movement, touch, and emotion together.

Alongside explaining the foundations of body psychotherapy, Brown introduces bodylistening, his own way of working, grounded in presence, curiosity, and attention to the body’s quieter messages. The book also touches on how encounters with nature and the “more-than-human” world can shape our sense of embodiment.

“Travel into the ADHD Mind: Strategies for Working with ADHD Clients” – Nea Clark

“Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age” – Bruce Feller

Bruce Feiler explores how the traditional, linear life story many of us grew up with—move through school, build one career, form a family, age with one partner—no longer reflects how people actually live. After noticing how often inherited narratives clash with real experience, he embarked on a far-reaching project, gathering 225 life stories from across the U.S. These conversations revealed clear patterns: our lives unfold in nonlinear ways, full of unexpected transitions, and many of the ideas we take for granted—like the classic midlife crisis—are more myth than truth.

Drawing on these stories, Feiler offers a refreshing and hopeful perspective. Instead of seeing life’s detours as failures, he shows how we can actively reshape our personal narratives to support us through change.

The book includes a practical “transition toolkit,” helping readers reflect on the story they’re living, question where it came from, and craft one that fits who they are now. It’s an encouraging guide for anyone feeling off-script or in the middle of a life shift.
