Teaching the Mindful self-Compassion Program
By Christopher Germer, PhD & Kristin Neff, Phd
Detailed vignettes illustrate not only how to teach the course’s didactic and experiential content, but also how to engage with participants, manage group processes, and overcome common obstacles. Other professionals – therapists, mindfulness teachers, educators, pastors business people, researchers – wil learn how to bring self-compassion into their work activities. Purchasers get access to a companion website with downloadable audio recordings of the guided meditations. Please note: To teach the MSC program itself, it is still necessary to take the formal MSC Teacher Training.
“The innovative approach to self-compassion training pioneered by Neff and Germer is internationally recognized for helping people learn to be kinder to themselves. MSC has set countless people free from the tyranny of hostile self-criticism; consequently, there has been a growing need to understand how to teach the program. Based on years of experience and research, this clearly written, step-by-step book outlines the central features and focus of MSC. It is full of insightful and practical guidance, and will be a source of wisdom for all interested in how to help people bring more compassion to themselves and others.”
