There are many good suggestions here. I personally have found the serious self-work I have done without a therapist to be more beneficial (and a lot cheaper) than working with and paying a therapist. Some of the books I used, I literally read and re-read underlining passages and committing them to memory. Now, I look back on that and wonder, why did I need to do that? But at the time, it was totally necessary, and even a therapist wouldn't have helped. Doing it on your own can be very validating and self-affirming.
