Course Description

Radical Self-Acceptance with Tara Brach: Healing Shame & Fear in Clinical Practice – Tara Brach

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.

These toxic emotions monopolize your client’s personality  with self-hate, doubt, criticism and paranoia. By the time they arrive in your office, many of them are struggling with even deeper clinical diagnoses like depression, anxiety, eating disorders or PTSD.

The suffering caused by their feelings of unworthiness and deficiency can be the most difficult and pervasive to treat successfully.  Until now…

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 thetools you need to end your client’s suffering.

Designed for professionals  looking to take their clinical practice to a deeper level, this course will show you how toengage effectively with varying degrees of distress and pain  – from mild, moderate to intense – through practical and supportive strategies that will strengthen your current clinical approach and  maximize your client’s human potential.

This Radical Self-Acceptance course will revitalize you and your practice…

Based on scientific research and decades of experiential work, Tara Brach, Ph.D., will guide you step by step through the practices you need to effectively heal the burdens of shame and fear that your clients are carrying. Join Tara as she lays the groundwork for deeply enriching your clinical approach through masterfully executed guided meditations, experiential exercises and discussion.

Together, you’ll explore how the practices of mindfulness and compassion will allow your clients to fully embrace their lives and connectedness with others while being more compassionate toward the “unforgivable” parts within themselves through the powerful tools of Radical Self-Acceptance.
