Radical Self-Acceptance
Guilt, shame, and fear — when faced with the distress of these emotions, your client's defensive instinct is to turn away, deny, and repress the pain.

In this new, intensive online course, clinical psychologist and internationally known teacher of mindfulness meditation Tara Brach combines the latest scientific research with decades of experiential practice to give you the tools you need to end your client's suffering.
