Book DescriptionRadical Self-Acceptance Tara Brach How would your life change if you genuinely accepted yourself? On Radical Self-Acceptance, Dr. Tara Brach (a psychologist and instructor at the Insight Meditation Society’s Washington, D.C., Center) shows how feelings of unworthiness are often the source of problems we experience in our relationships, careers, creative endeavors, and in our spiritual unfolding. With insights from both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychotherapy, Dr. Brach guides you through a full program of meditations and skills you need to become more compassionate toward the “unforgivable” parts of your self. Now you can experience the freedom that comes with kindness and a true appreciation of yourself and others, with Radical Self-Acceptance. Dealing with feelings of unworthiness and self-loathing is the focus of this audio by a clinical psychologist who also teaches Buddhist meditation. It’s a guide to practicing meditative awareness and to asking questions that clarify negative self-feelings to make them available for reworking. The author’s belief in this process is profoundly evident as she repeats her suggestions, shares genuine stories of shame, and presses on with her invitation to reclaim the self, no matter how deficient or unacceptable it may seem to be. A solid resource goes beyond jargon and mere encouragement to offer a real possibility of emotional recovery. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine– Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
