Synopsis

'A book full of practical wisdom and clarifying detail' - Mark Williams, co-author of The Mindful Way Through Depression

Inspired by Eastern meditative practices, mindfulness is a simple yet powerful approach to treat depression, anxiety, relationship issues and many other common problems.

Featuring practical, illustrated step-by-step exercises to help you fully understand and adopt the mindfulness approach, and master key techniques such as breathing, relaxation, body scanning and concentration building. As you adopt these approaches, you can completely engage in the present moment, and in the process overcome negative thoughts and feelings. It also includes chapters on using mindfulness to self-treat such specific problems as depression, stress and anxiety, and relationship issues. Written by a team of practising therapists led by Sarah Silverton, The Mindfulness Breakthrough truly is a breakthrough for self-treatment: a friendly, engaging and most of all practical guide; and one which, like a trusted therapist, leads you through your problems and questions, anticipating your needs with kindness and compassion.

Mindfulness is recommended by doctors and psychologists as a gentle, practical and highly effective treatment option, and in 2010 the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommended mindfulness as the treatment of choice for recurrent depressive illness.
