Story
Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

Kristin Neff, PhD, created this inspiring audio program to help you understand and build the two complementary aspects of this crucial skill: the receptive Yin side self-compassion and the active Yang side self-compassion.

In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

Story
Throughout history people have sought to cope with a life that is often stressful and hard. We have actually known for some time that developing compassion for oneself and others can help us face up to and win through the hardship and find a sense of inner peace. However in modern societies we rarely focus on this key process that underpins successful coping and happiness and can be quick to dismiss the impact of modern living on our minds and well-being. Instead we concentrate on 'doing, achieving' and having'.

In this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

Thoughts and moods are chemical reactions in your brain that you might think you are powerless to control. But modern science has shown beyond doubt that changing your behaviour and thought patterns can rewire the neurological pathways of your brain to literally change how you think, feel and view yourself. In The Neuroscience of Self-Love, Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa takes the theory out of neuroscience and gives you practical tools and exercises to create a new self that is happier, more balanced and less dependent on others for validation.

The aftermath of a single event or repeated trauma can profoundly shape how we experience the rest of our lives. Whether it occurred in childhood, a recent relationship, a catastrophe, or other situation, trauma can have lifelong effects. Yet, as impossible as it may seem now, says Dr. Arielle Schwartz, you can return to wholeness. This pioneering psychotherapist, a survivor of complex trauma herself, has helped thousands. With Trauma Recovery, she brings us a compassionate and practice-oriented audio resource for transformation and growth.
Publisher's Summary
Learn the science of self-compassion and mindfulness to heal and build resilience.
In the face of a setback or failure, is your first response to "get tough" on yourself? Do you worry that being too easy on yourself will make you "go soft"? In fact, more than a decade of research shows that mindful self-compassion makes us stronger, not weaker. Together, mindfulness and self-compassion:
- Reduce anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and chronic pain.
- Make us more capable, connected with others, and resilient.
- Improve our health, personal relationships, and ability to achieve our aspirations.
In this immersive seven-hour audio program - presented to an audience of psychotherapists, caregivers, teachers, and meditators - you'll join two pioneering researchers to explore:
- The science supporting the many benefits of mindfulness and self-compassion
- How to build kind awareness through meditations, physical gestures, and many other tested methods
- How to cultivate presence, ease, and courage
Taught with depth, humor, and an empathy for those in need, Shauna Shapiro and Kristin Neff weave surprising scientific insights, their own stories as dedicated mothers and researchers, and a wealth of guided practices to bring mindfulness and self-compassion into every area of our lives.
Highlights:
- Three ingredients of effective mindfulness: intention, attention, and attitude
- Posture, movement, touch, and tone of voice - somatic tools to activate self-compassion
- Self-esteem versus self-compassion - crucial differences
- Working with a challenging client, parent, or child (and not burning out)
- Healing trauma - guidance for survivors and therapists
- How mindfulness and self-compassion foster secure attachment within ourselves
- Interconnectedness and interbeing - how self-compassion and mindfulness expand our empathy and sense of self - and many other topics
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So much knowledge imparted and accessible
Brilliant communication of Neff and Shapiro's work in self compassion and mindfulness. This is a recording of a seminar / workshop, so not technically a book, but the recording is excellent as is the edit - this really works well. If you are interested in this topic, it is well worth listening. This duo have a lot of expert knowledge and deliver so well. I am sure tickets to their events are expensive - this is like attending, but you can rewind!
