How would your life change if you genuinely accepted yourself, just the way you are? According to Dr. Tara Brach, feelings of shame and unworthiness are the source of many problems we experience with our relationships, careers, creative endeavors, and most fundamentally, our spiritual unfolding.

Course objectives:

Explain how feelings of shame and unworthiness are the source of many problems we experience with our relationships, careers, creative endeavors, and most fundamentally, our spiritual unfolding.
• Discuss Radical Self-Acceptance and how to free yourself from the grip of your insecurities about being good enough.
• Practice Radical Self-Acceptance as a way to discover the freedom that comes with kindness and true appreciation of yourself and others.
• Utilize insights from both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychotherapies to guide you through a full program of meditations and skills you need to become more compassionate toward the unforgivable parts of your Self.
On Radical Self-Acceptance, this respected clinical psychologist and Buddhist meditation teacher shows you how to free yourself from the grip of your insecurities about being good enough.

With insights from both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychotherapies, Dr. Brach guides you through a full program of meditations and skills you need to become more compassionate toward the unforgivable parts of your Self.

As Dr. Brach says, the most difficult—and pervasive—challenge to Westerners today is the suffering caused by our feelings of unworthiness and self-aversion. Radical Self-Acceptance offers a way to break out of this emotional prison, so you can discover the freedom that comes with kindness and true appreciation of yourself and others.

The voice of Tara Brach is perfect… both as a soothing tone and the message being delivered. The meditations are wonderful and if there were a way to “mark@ them as separate, rather than within a chapter, it would provide further benefit to the listener. Overall though, if you seek a pleasant listen and messaging of healing oneself through meditative means, this book is amazing.

amazing words from the author as well as meditations to help identify the ultimate goal of this book.

We constantly judge ourselves for our behaviors in the past, for the ways that we've fallen short or for things that we are ashamed of or embarrassed about.
Whether we were kids and didn't know any better or adults and just made bad decisions, those things brought us here.
If we use that suffering as part of our healing in a way that can benefit us, identify those things, that suffering, and the things that arise because of it, we can use that as a connection to our real selves. To identify why we are the way we are, to accept and to forgive and to grow, so much bigger than if all we did was criticize ourselves for who we are because of them.
