When you are anxious, sad, angry, or lonely, do you hear this self-critical voice? What would happen if, instead of fighting difficult emotions, we accepted them? Over his decades of experience as a therapist and mindfulness meditation practitioner, Dr. Christopher Germer has learned a paradoxical lesson: We all want to avoid pain, but letting it in--and responding compassionately to our own imperfections, without judgment or self-blame--are essential steps on the path to healing. This wise and eloquent book illuminates the power of self-compassion and offers creative, scientifically grounded strategies for putting it into action. Free audio downloads of the meditation exercises are available at the author's website: www.chrisgermer.com.See also The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook, by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, which provides step-by-step guidance for building mindful self-compassion skills and applying them to specific life challenges, and Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program, by Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff (for professionals).Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Self-Help Book of Merit\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181962653984,"sku":"NEW1593859759","price":15.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91_jzEfpJ8L.jpg?v=1786605401","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-mindful-path-to-self-compassion-freeing-yourself-from-destructive-thoughts-and-emotions-1593859759","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
