While the source of physical wounds can usually be easily identified, the cause of emotional wounds are often hidden and hard to recognize, leading many depressed clients to assume they’re responsible for their own pain and therefore their suffering isn’t legitimate.
To help depressed clients figure out what they need to heal, mindfulness specialist Elisha Goldstein has developed several effective self-compassion practices that he incorporates into his work.
Watch the video clip below from Elisha's session in our brand-new webcast series,
Treating the Depressed Client, to hear him talk about the first step toward self-compassion that he employed with a client whose sense of shame was fueling her depression.
This is just one of the self-compassion techniques Elisha will discuss in this webcast session.
