The first book to present mindfulness and yoga-based treatment for
dysregulated, consumption-oriented disorders Mindfulness and
yoga-based approaches as beneficial supplements to traditional
mental health paradigms are well supported by empirical research.
While numerous texts have examined these approaches for treatment
of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, this is the first to
address mindfulness and yoga-based approaches as embodied tools for
reducing dysregulation associated with self-destructive and
consumption-oriented behaviours. Introducing the basic theoretical
foundations, key practices, and comprehensive protocols of
mindfulness and yoga-based approaches for the treatment of
externally oriented behaviours, the text is targeted at mental
health professionals who wish to learn how to incorporate these
techniques into their practice. The book explores the societal
influences that lead to the externally oriented, idealized, and
ultimately self-defeating concept of the individual. It provides
the structure and practical applications for clinicians to help
their clients overcome struggles with externally oriented
behaviours and discover an internal sense of satisfaction and peace
of mind. Tapping into the concept of a ""hungry self"" within the
context of consumerism, the book advocates mindfulness and yoga
approaches as alternate pathways toward a contented, regulated, and
authentic experience of self. It addresses various aspects of the
consumptive self and defines related syndromes such as disordered
eating, compulsive shopping, substance use, and gambling. Creating
a context for using alternative and complementary approaches, the
book describes the challenges of traditional therapies. It then
covers the conceptual aspects of mindfulness and yoga and describes
specific protocols that facilitate behaviours associated a healthy
experience of the self for a variety of disorders. Key Features:
Describes mindfulness and yoga approaches as an effective treatment
for a range of consumption and self-regulation issues-the first
book of its kind Explains how to integrate mindfulness and yoga
with traditional mental health paradigms for maximum benefits
