With over twenty-five years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, C.C. Shaw wrote a guidebook on how to foster mental health in your daily life through her book, Free Counseling. The idea came from an epiphany while in a meeting with a patient. The patient shared that people in their lives often told them to stop worrying so much, but they weren’t sure if that was even possible. As C.C. sat in that session explaining the techniques, she realized the simplicity. That’s when she began her mission: make mental health more accessible. 

C.C. wrote the book while simultaneously having a full-time career and taking care of her family. After meeting with patients all day, she would reflect and write about the common mental health challenges that her patients would go through. By outlining the steps to address these struggles and sharing the successful approaches used in her counseling sessions, she shows how practical and insightful decisions can help you regain your footing, no matter the challenges you face.

 

Free Counseling covers a wide range of topics. Each chapter offers practical insights and strategies to help you work through specific hurdles. Think of this book as the most affordable therapy session you’ll ever have. And the best part? You won’t have to worry about forgetting your therapist’s advice; just grab it off your bookshelf and find the answers whenever you need them! C.C. hopes this book will transform the life of anyone who reads it, but ultimately, it’s up to the reader to take that first step.
