Reviews and Endorsements

Our profession is abuzz with ideas for how we can bring the promise of self-compassion into the consulting room. The editors and their chapter-author colleagues lay out what we know and what we don’t, and make concrete suggestions that can be integrated into our healing work and scientific efforts today.
from the Foreword by Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno; codeveloper of acceptance and commitment therapy

An invaluable resource that bridges the gap between self-compassion and trauma-informed care. The book offers a wealth of strategies, from grounding techniques to mindfulness practices, all designed to support clients in their healing journey.
David Treleaven, PhD, developer of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

This stunning volume offers cutting-edge insights by top experts from around the globe. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how self-compassion can transform the therapeutic relationship, and can help both therapists and clients be with painful thoughts and emotions with more space, warmth, and resilience. In addition to providing foundational knowledge, the book gives concrete, pragmatic suggestions for therapists to incorporate self-compassion into their practice.
Kristin Neff, PhD, Department of Educational Psychology, The University of Texas at Austin; co-founder, Center for Mindful Self-Compassion

This volume explores a breadth of perspectives on self-compassion as a transformative element in psychotherapy. Self-compassion is presented as a therapeutic orientation and practice that benefits not only clients, but also therapists. The book spans both the theory and practice of self-compassion and uses memorable case examples to illustrate practical applications with diverse clinical populations. This book is a valuable resource for both seasoned and new clinicians from a range of theoretical orientations.
