Wellness Resources

At IYK we recognize there are multiple dimensions to your mental and emotional well being.
While working with a professional in therapy is extremely important, we recommend trying out these additional resources to engage in self work and healing beyond therapy sessions. Links are provided for the ease of accessing these resources, but you may also find them where you would find your books, podcasts, TV series, etc. There is a mix of free and for purchase resources.
