Description
The Compassionate Mind Approach to Building Self-Confidence by Mary Welford Feeling inadequate and struggling with low mood can be a heavy burden. Many of us compare ourselves to others, leading to feelings of shame and anxiety. However, this approach often fails when things don't go as planned. In contrast, self-confidence built on self-compassion can help navigate both good times and difficult ones. This book explores the ideas and practices of Compassion Focused Therapy to build self-confidence. It also addresses common difficulties that come with low self-confidence, such as anxiety, depression, substance use, and anger. By understanding how to cultivate a compassionate mindset, readers can develop the resilience needed to overcome these challenges. By focusing on self-compassion rather than self-esteem, this book offers a unique approach to building confidence and improving mental wellbeing.
