Official synopsis Publisher
“Many times, we have been asked over the years, “Being a therapist, what allows you to listen and stay present when you are surrounded by so much pain and suffering?” Our answer would be summed up in one word: compassion. Compassion is a natural feeling arising in response to pain. The focus of this book will be on self-compassion as an important foundation for effective psychotherapy as well as a resource for clients and therapists alike. This book dives deeply into the importance and influence of self-compassion for the therapist, for the client, and for the therapeutic relationship. Part I, Self-Compassion as a Change Process, establishes the pillars of self-compassion-informed psychotherapy. Part II, A Self-Compassion-Based Clinician, focuses on what shapes and informs therapists’ practice. Part III, Applications of Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy, explores self-compassion within various clinical frameworks, populations, and diagnostic categories”–
