The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions de Christopher Germer

The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions

Autor Christopher Germer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iun 2009

Găsim în The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion un aliat esențial în momentele de criză emoțională, când vocea critică interioară devine copleșitoare. Suntem de părere că marea valoare a acestei lucrări rezidă în abordarea sa practică: nu este doar o pledoarie teoretică pentru blândețe, ci un manual riguros, premiat de asociațiile de profil, care ne învață cum să integrăm compasiunea față de sine în viața de zi cu zi. Christopher Germer pornește de la premisa că atenția conștientă (mindfulness) este incompletă fără acest ingredient al bunătății, mai ales atunci când ne confruntăm cu anxietatea sau izolarea.

Structura cărții este logică și progresivă, fiind împărțită în trei secțiuni majore. Prima parte ne ghidează în ascultarea corpului și identificarea emoțiilor dificile, în timp ce a doua se concentrează pe meditația de tip „loving-kindness”. Ultima parte oferă instrumente pentru personalizarea acestor practici, recunoscând că drumul fiecăruia spre echilibru este unic. Fanii lucrării Self-Compassion de Kristin Neff vor recunoaște aceeași atenție la rigoarea științifică, aplicată aici într-un context terapeutic mai accentuat, oferind exerciții care transformă suferința emoțională într-o oportunitate de vindecare.

Această lucrare se plasează natural în continuarea operei autorului, fiind fundamentul pentru Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program. Spre deosebire de Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, care se adresa în special clinicienilor, volumul de față este scris într-un stil accesibil publicului larg, menținând totodată standardele academice care l-au consacrat pe Germer ca lider în domeniu.

Recenzii

"Those of us treating people who struggle with addictions know all too well how clients' feelings of shame or self-blame often undermine efforts to achieve effective interventions. In this remarkable book, Germer shows readers how to use mindfulness and self-compassion to open up to their pain and treat themselves with kindness. Ideal for recommendation to clients who have fallen off the wagon or who are blaming themselves for failed relationships, lost jobs, and scattered lives, this book offers a way out of a vicious cycle."--G. Alan Marlatt, PhD, Department of Psychology and Director, Addictive Behaviors Research Center, University of Washington

"In this important book, Christopher Germer illuminates the myriad synergies between mindfulness and compassion. He offers skillful and effective ways of making sure that we are inviting ourselves, as well as others, to bathe in and benefit from the kind heart of awareness itself, and from the actions that follow from such a radical and sane embrace."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

"Loving-kindness and compassion are the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle, and sometimes fierce actions that can really make a difference--in our own lives and those of others....In the following pages you will find a scientific review, an educational manual, and a practical step-by-step guide to developing greater loving-kindness and self-compassion every day."--from the Foreword by Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindnessand Real Love

"Self-compassion is the ground of all emotional healing, and Dr. Germer has produced an invaluable guide. Written with great clarity, psychological wisdom, and warmth, this book will serve anyone seeking practical and powerful tools that free the heart."--Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance

"Explains both the science and practice of developing kindness toward ourselves and others. Dr. Germer offers powerful and easily accessible steps toward transforming our lives from the inside out. It's never too late to start along this important path."--Daniel J. Siegel, MD, author of The Mindful Brain

"An elegant and practical guide to cultivating self-compassion, by a dedicated and wise clinician and meditation teacher. The author offers time-honored practices and exercises with the potential to illuminate and transform the background chatter of our minds that determines so much of the course of our lives."--Samuel Shem, MD, author of The House of God-
Very well written....filled with practical suggestions and methods....Both the reasoning supporting the importance of the method and the method itself are presented in a clear and compelling fashion. I felt excited, touched, and enriched as I read on, and I am sure most readers will have a similar response....Offers a good integration of Eastern spirituality with Western science to make a compelling argument for the values and effectiveness of mindfulness and compassion meditation. Not only is the argument clear and convincing, but the book also offers plenty of practical aids....Should you read this book? Enthusiastically, yes....An excellent review of the evidence for mindful self-compassion in a psychoeducational manual and a step-by-step guide to developing awareness, self-compassion, and loving kindness.
--PsycCRITIQUES, 5/1/2009ƒƒ
A very accessible introduction....[Germer] writes in a relaxed style that makes the book easy to read, without skimping on detail....The layout is clear and uncluttered, with a mix of explanation, theory, practice, along with case study examples from Germer's own life and that of his clients. There are useful websites scattered through the book....Mindfulness could well become an important part of my own self-care, which will also feed into my client work. This book is a helpful start and a handy resource.
--Independent Practitioner, 5/1/2009ƒƒThe book is clear and well organized....This book is written not only with the therapist in mind but also for the use of the layperson through a process-oriented design for individual growth.--Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 5/1/2009ƒƒ
In this intelligent, concise, and easy-to-read book, Christopher Germer presents an exciting synthesis of mindfulness and self-compassion that is much needed and long overdue. Drawing upon decades of practice as a clinician and meditator, Dr. Germer offers a rich and insightful guide to emotional healing. While thoroughly covering the relevant psychological research, the book is written for a general audience, and will be of enormous benefit to both therapists and their clients....Germer's narrative voice is warm, gentle, and down-to-earth. His years of meditation practice have clearly paid off in the writing of this book: every word is infused with wisdom and compassion. An invaluable guide to anyone wanting to learn how to transform their relationship with difficult emotions, this important book will undoubtedly change the lives of many who read it.
--British Journal of Psychology, 5/1/2009

Descriere

Winner of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Self-Help Seal of Merit! The psychological benefits of mindfulness are well established. Yet for people who struggle with difficult emotions like anxiety, guilt, anger, loneliness, sadness, or low self-esteem, mindfulness practices can be enhanced by adding a simple yet powerful ingredient: self-compassion. Without it, we all too often respond to emotional suffering with self-criticism, shame, or defensiveness - tough-to-break habits that only make suffering worse.

This wise, eloquent, and practical book illuminates the nature of self-compassion and offers easy-to-follow, scientifically grounded steps for incorporating it into daily life. Vivid examples and innovative exercises and techniques make this an ideal resource for readers new to mindfulness or those who want to take their practice to the next level.
