DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF – USE COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY AS
YOUR GUIDE It's often said that we're our own worst critics—and it's
true. _Compassion Focused Therapy For Dummies_ offers straightforward
and practical advice that helps you view yourself through a more
sympathetic lens. This motivating text covers the key principles of
compassion focused therapy, which guide you in caring for your
wellbeing, becoming sensitive to your needs, recognising when you are
distressed, and extending warmth and understanding to yourself. This
transformative resource provides you with metrics that you can use to
monitor your progress, including sensitivity, sympathy, empathy, and
overall wellbeing. Initially developed to assist people experiencing
high levels of shame and self-criticism, compassion focused therapy
increases your awareness of the automatic reactions that you
experience—and motivates you to combat negative reactions with
kindness and affection. Used on its own or in combination with other
therapeutic approaches, the value of compassion focused therapy is
supported by strong neuropsychological evidence.
* Understand how to handle difficult emotions with greater
ease—and less stress
* Transform difficult, potentially damaging relationships into
positive aspects of your life
* Encourage and motivate yourself to continually meet your goals,
rather than criticise yourself for perceived failures
* Stop being so hard on yourself, and appreciate yourself for who
you are
_Compassion Focused Therapy For Dummies_ is a wonderful resource if
you are seeing—or thinking about seeing—a therapist who utilises
compassion techniques, or if you would like to leverage the principles
of compassion focused therapy to manage your own wellbeing.
