The Art and Science of Awareness | Chris Germer.

Описание: “Just like falling in love, we can fall into compassion for ourselves. That then warms up our awareness, so we can include others in our circle of compassion.”

Chris Germer is a clinical psychologist and lecturer at Harvard Medical School. He co-developed the Mindful Self-Compassion program with Kristin Neff in 2010, which has been taught to over 250,000 people worldwide. With Neff, Chris wrote his latest book, “Mindful Self-Compassion for Burnout: Tools to Help You Heal and Recharge When You're Wrung Out by Stress.” He is also the author of "The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion," and co-edited "Mindfulness and Psychotherapy" and "Wisdom and Compassion in Psychotherapy."
