Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals

This book by Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff will support, encourage, and inspire anyone who wishes to teach Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) or share aspects of the program with others.The depth and details in this book are impressive — conceptual material, scientific research, inquiry with participants, guided meditations, full class descriptions, and so much more. As someone who has been teaching MSC for several years, I find myself delighted to be discovering gold nuggets throughout the book. As an MSC teacher trainer, and as someone who works closely with new MSC teachers, I am finding that this book offers a superb level of support to teachers at every level.It seems important to say that this not just a “how to” book. Self-compassion is not something that we “do” or even master. It is something that we cultivate and practice, a process that should not be rushed. In that spirit, my hope is that all who read this book will allow it to be savored and slowly digested.A deep, deep bow of gratitude and appreciation to Chris and Kristin. May this work continue to spread throughout the world.

A hard book to complete but it’s worth the journey into grace and freedom. So helpful and asks all the right questions

Fantastic resource; it's the kind of book where you learn more about being an effective teacher in all walks of life as you progress. Rereading is of the utmost importance to remind yourself of the fundamentals as you integrate more elements into your practice. Looking forward to using this to prep for taking the course itself.

Excellent overview, I like to review selected content I need to work on, well organized, helpful, I like the chart overview of weeks,I bought both electronic and hard copy.I’d buy it again if needed,A keeper, 5/5

I wish someone had told me to read a book like this when I was a teenager. These are very important teachings that can change and improve your whole life!

The whole book is very useful, mainly for teachers. I found excellent inquiries’ examples. Inquiring is one of the most difficult subjects, and this book approach is very friendly.

Comprehensive primary source. All you need unless you want to be certified.

Love all the books by this author.

Parcel arrived in less than 24hrs in perfect condition. Thoroughly impressed.

I was expecting more useful information in this book compared with the original workbook. Additionally, the "new" copy that I was sent was clearly used (lots of scratches and marks on the cover).
