What is the place of discontent and unhappiness in human experience
and how best can we be with it? There is something about everything
that makes it not quite satisfactory. Even things we really love
are spoilt by not being quite enough or by going on too long.
People entering psychotherapy want to feel better - more
authoritative, less anxious or depressed, more whole - and although
it can help, an enormous amount of difficult and painful emotions
continue to arise. Even after years and years of therapy many of us
feel that there is no 'happy ever after'. Bearing this reality in
mind and drawing upon both psychotherapeutic and Buddhist sources,
Present with Suffering, explores bereavement and our pervasive
experience of emptiness. With a foreword from Henry Shukman, the
authors show how through being mindfully present, kind and
accepting, we may enfold what hurts us in a more spacious and
meaningful way.
`This is an enriching book for readers interested in unconscious
psychological processes and who have a predilection for
psychotherapy which interfaces psychology, philosophy and
spirituality' - Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and
Psychotherapy Transpersonal Psychotherapy recognizes levels of
experience that take us beyond our usual sense of self, limited by
the content of our personality. Whilst facilitating the emergence
of self, it also actively encourages an exploration of
transpersonal experience as an integral part of the individuation
process. The major work proves a thorough and accessible
introduction for students of psychotherapy ad interested others.
