Resources

I’ve listed a number of web resources that I’ve found helpful over the years.  Right now they are listed alphabetically, but I will eventually be organizing them into categories.  Websites do change over time, however, so if a link doesn’t work, please let me know at doctorpat@healingispossible.com so that I can keep these pages up-to-date.  If you know of any additional resources that you recommend, please let me know those also.
