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.
This collection of memoirs examines the relationship between
daughters with academic degrees and their working-class parents.
Each contributor explores the influence that higher education has
had on her relationship with her parent(s), as well as their
influence on her academic work. In writing that is akin to
archeological work, each writer sifts through layers of experience
and draws on the lessons and language of home to consider what
working-class parents provide beyond food and shelter for their
academically inclined child, and what personal cost is exacted of
parent and child in the process. Their stories provoke anyone who
has gone to college - woman or man - to consider the influence of
their parents on their academic career. The themes in the
collection fall into five broad categories: the value and power of
bringing the lessons and language of working-class parents into the
academy; the psychology of class learned from a parent; the
ambivalence of love and pain associated with a parent's sacrifice
and the process of becoming an academic; the balancing act of
straddling the worlds of academia and home; and definitions of work
that either complement or conflict with those learned from parents.
The memoirs acknowledge in retrospect how each writer's
understanding of her parent(s) shapes her views on education and
work.
