You're bad. Unlovable. You want to hide. Over decades of experience as a therapist and mindfulness expert, Christopher Germer has learned how truly devastating shame can be. But Dr. Germer has also developed a powerful approach to healing. This wise, encouraging book guides the reader to understand how shame constricts their life and take concrete steps to break free. Based on Dr. Germer's renowned Self-Compassion for Shame course, the book is chock-full of stories, reflections, “Try This†exercises, and guided practices, including audio tracks at the companion website. Readers can work through the 21 concise chapters at their own pace and use the practices on the spot whenever they feel shame in daily life.
