A Thompson Psychology community initiative
Shelf Care Book Club
self care, one chapter at a timeRead along at your own pace, in whatever format works for you. Every so often I'll share a book, article or other piece of content, and knowing others are reading alongside you can make it easier to start, keep going and actually enjoy it. A gentle kind of body doubling, with no timetable and no pressure.
How it works
Something is chosen
When it feels right, I'll share a new book, article or piece of content by email, with a little about why it was picked.
Read your way
Paper, audiobook, Kindle or online. Whatever works for your brain, your life and your capacity.
Reflect gently
A few optional reflection prompts may arrive along the way. Use them, skip them, finish or don't.
