The Cancer Workbook: Developing A Compassionate Mind For Treatment, Recovery And Survival

Julia E. Wahl

David Sheffield

The workbook will teach you the principles and techniques of compassion focused therapy, and you will learn how to treat yourself with compassion in the face of cancer, how to manage shame and concerns over your changing body image, how to manage pain and how to find a mental place of safety, as well as taking these tools into your life beyond cancer, in recovery. THE COMPASSIONATE MIND APPROACH The self-help books in this series are based on compassion focused therapy (CFT, developed by series editor Paul Gilbert). This brings together an understanding of how our mind can cause us difficulties but also provides us with a powerful solution in the shape of mindfulness and compassion. It teaches ways to stimulate the part of the brain connected with kindness, warmth, compassion and safeness, and to calm the part that makes us feel, anxious, angry, sad or depressed.
