Tim Desmond

Buddhist Practices for Healing Trauma

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While many mental health books draw on secular mindfulness, Buddhist Practices for Healing Trauma offers something deeper: a comprehensive healing path grounded in the full breadth of Buddhist wisdom. Drawing from ancient sutras, traditional metaphors, and modern psychology, Tim Desmond--a psychotherapist and longtime student of Thich Nhat Hanh--guides readers through a journey of strengthening, acceptance, and transformation. Each short chapter offers a concrete practice, from visualizing your five-year-old self to embracing suffering as compost for growth. Interwoven with teachings on non-self, the Discourse on Happiness, and the transformational power of loving-awareness, this book goes beyond symptom relief to support deep spiritual and emotional healing. Gentle, profound, and accessible, this is not just a guide to feeling better--it's a path toward liberation. For readers seeking trauma recovery through Buddhist practice--not just Buddhist-flavored therapy--this book offers a rare and authentic resource.
