A Brief Message from Dr. Gormally About Psychological Self Help

I designed this website to encourage your efforts to help yourself. I believe that you will find the website to be useful to you for several reasons. I have reviewed and studied all the suggestions on this page. Some of the suggestions have been field tested by my patients. Keep in mind, however, that the website is not intended to replace the help that you may obtain from an office visit to a mental health professional.

Don't be discouraged! Self help tools may need some "fine tuning" to work for you. If the suggestions and information are not helpful, you may want to consider consulting with a mental health professional for an evaluation of your situation.

Before "diving in", I want to make clear my position on responsible use of website information.

1. I assume that you understand that the information contained on this website is not professional advice. (I would need to personally evaluate your situation in order to give you advice.)

2. I assume that you take full responsibility for applying the information. (Since there is no professional relationship between you and me, I cannot take responsibility for helping you apply this information.)

Do you agree with these assumptions?
