Helping Yourself Get Better

---

In this section of my website you will find easy-to-understand self-help programs. I have created this section for individuals who are interested in helping themselves get better without the direct assistance of a counsellor. There are a multitude of reasons for selecting this self-help option and I'm sure you have yours. I, too, understand the value of self-analysis and therefore support your courageous efforts.

Self-help - a definition:

"Self-help means to grasp our potentialities, discover our resources, accept responsibility for our life and live it in the way we ourselves decide. Self-help means starting a process of change - from being a passive recipient to becoming an active participant in one’s own life" (The Norwegian Self-help Forum, 1999).
