A Holding Space While You Wait for Therapy by Jessica Bowers
Bridging the gap between self‑help and therapy, A Holding Space While You Wait for Therapy provides insight, support, compassion and hope to clients who are waiting to begin counselling and psychotherapy. Readers will benefit from building their knowledge through accessible psychoeducation, learning practical tools and reading case vignettes which demonstrate these ideas in practice. Mirroring the way in which a therapist ‘holds space’ for a client, this book provides non‑judgemental support to those experiencing challenging moments within their lives.
Written in a relational style and backed by academic research, this book provides an accessible yet rigorous guide to self‑help while waiting for therapy. Each chapter is devoted to exploring a different part of the ‘self’, drawing from Daniel Stern’s ‘self‑psychology’ and the author’s humanistic and integrative perspective. There is guidance on: dealing with feelings and emotions, supporting psychological well‑being, tuning into the body’s wisdom, developing a positive self‑relationship, understanding and improving relationships, connecting with soul and spirituality, and harnessing creativity and the imagination – all with the common purpose of helping and healing.
The open‑letter, easy‑to‑read style makes the content accessible and acts as a companion tool for the reader as they journey through the challenges of life. This is an essential read for clients waiting for therapy, mental health practitioners looking to provide support to waitlisted clients, and trainees or students wanting to better understand the therapeutic journey in full.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
