Self-help hunting
is a never ending pasttime


Self-help is an attitude and a hobby and a way of handling the issues of life that fall in that grey area where they are a bit beyond one's expertise but not far enough beyond to require a professional. The internet is probably the greatest repository of self-help information that has ever been put together. Of course, the various resources on the world wide web haven't been put together with much organization. Information on the internet is put together more or less like a huge bore shotgun might "put together" a hole in a thin wall -- like the dents and craters in the moon are organized.


No matter how many tools you've tried,
there may always be one more to find some day

There are a lot of people looking for tools. New ones are discovered every day - tools to increase your sense of self-control, self-direction, self-esteem and self-respect.

There are pros & cons
to self-help efforts

Self-help is not always preferable to professional help. Sometimes it's actually a toss up whether one's own self or a trained stranger outside of one's situation is more able to identify problems and needs.

increased self-esteem
c o n s
no trained support

a note to self-helpers

If you need a pro, go get one. It's nice to be able to effectively handle things by yourself, but no one is an island and denial is often a silly strategy.
