Description: A unique approach to healing that emphasizes changing our perspectives instead of changing ourselves. Instead of struggling to change our inner experiences we transform the container in which they are held. From here wholeness and healing are possible; this is where actual change lives. 2024 Finalist International Book Awards Health: Psychology/ Mental Health Category and Self Help: General Category One of the most significant sources of suffering comes from our human tendency to avoid difficult emotions. We are not taught how to face these unpleasant often daily inner experiences (mind - body energies) and so we tend to push them away ignore them or become unwittingly overwhelmed by them. Yet how we meet and greet these difficult emotions has everything to do with our well - being resilience and ability to connect with ourselves and others. Instinctually we fight against our uncomfortable emotions; in doing so we reinforce messages of not good enough or something is wrong with me that I am feeling this way. In You Don't Have to Change to Change Everything readers learn that instead of forcing themselves to feel happy and pushing away what is unpleasant or instead of getting hooked by intense emotions another path can lead to more profound well - being. Rather than trying to change one's inner experiences this book offers six ways to shift one's vantage point when difficult emotions arise. Being aware from each of these six vantage points allows readers to cultivate inner stability willingness to turn toward rather than away from themselves greater perspective internal strengths and inner resources self - compassion connection with the Whole Self versus identification with hole self and interconnection with the world around them.
