"I yelled at the kids again--and feel so ashamed." "I barely have
time to shower, let alone exercise; no wonder I'm so out of shape."
"I'm just not the dad I hoped I would be." Parenting is hard.
That's why self-compassion is so important. In this empathic
resource, mindfulness expert and psychologist Susan M. Pollak helps
you let go of constant self-judgment and treat yourself with the
same kindness and caring you strive to offer your kids. Simple yet
powerful guided meditation techniques (most under three minutes
long) are easy to practice while doing the dishes, driving to work,
or soothing a fussy baby. Learn to respond to your own
imperfections like a supportive friend, not a harsh critic. You
will find yourself happier and more energized--and will discover
new reserves of patience and appreciation for your kids.
This practical guide helps therapists from virtually any specialty
or theoretical orientation choose and adapt mindfulness practices
most likely to be effective with particular patients, while
avoiding those that are contraindicated. The authors provide a wide
range of meditations that build the core skills of focused
attention, mindfulness, and compassionate acceptance. Vivid
clinical examples show how to weave the practices into therapy,
tailor them to each patient's needs, and overcome obstacles.
Therapists also learn how developing their own mindfulness practice
can enhance therapeutic relationships and personal well-being. The
Appendix offers recommendations for working with specific clinical
problems. Free audio downloads (narrated by the authors) and
accompanying patient handouts for selected meditations from the
book are available at www.sittingtogether.com. See also Mindfulness
and Psychotherapy, Second Edition, edited by Christopher K. Germer,
Ronald D. Siegel, and Paul R. Fulton, which reviews the research on
therapeutic applications of mindfulness and delves into treatment
of specific clinical problems.
