hi laura
sorry, i dont have any ideas what books can help you with your specific issue but i notice this is your first post and i wanted to welcome you. i know what i did to raise my self esteem that was really successful but it didnt come from a book and is far from evidence based so i am uncertain if you would want me to share it. if you want to know, after three posts, you can click on my name and send me a private message and i would be happy to share. welcome to psych central. you will find that we have several forums where we can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
