Reading together as a couple can facilitate better communication, emotional bonding and build intimacy.

Beginning marriage counseling or couples therapy may feel a little overwhelming for some people, because, in addition to the issues that brought you to therapy, there are a lot of new concepts and skills to learn about.  Couples often ask about helpful book suggestions to facilitate the counseling process. At North Berkeley Couples Therapy Center, we have found that there are certain books we consistently refer to people because they are the most helpful.
