While these resources might have originally been intended for therapists, some people perusing this site could well benefit from trying out some of the techniques recommended. However, for optimal, and safe, benefit, I recommend you establish a good relationship with a trained therapist, discuss these with that person, and only then try them out for yourself.
These resources discuss important elements in helping people in counselling -- please note: these are of approximately an hour's duration, and approximately 250 Mb (video), 100 Mb (audio), so bandwidth considerationa are important.
