Sometimes it helps to get a head start by looking up information on questions you may have. I have included the following web sites and literature should you want some direction in doing some of your own research. I have listed resources that have been helpful to me, to associates or to clients, but I do not agree with everything that is contained in these resources. As you explore, please use your own discernment about what may be helpful. I encourage you to bring any questions or thoughts you may gain from various sources into our sessions.
