This week, Diana Hill invites us into a soothing space where we learn to embrace our uncomfortable feelings, much like finding shelter in a serene greenhouse while a storm rages outside. In this practice, guided by principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr. Hill helps us turn toward our emotions—be it anxiety, stress, sadness, or anger—with the kind of tender attention you might give a fragile seedling needing nurture to grow.
Diana is also offering 10 free copies of her new book The Self-Compassion Daily Journal: Let Go of Your Inner Critic and Embrace Who You Are with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to our listeners. If you’d like your own copy, head over to https://signups.mindful.org/book-giveaway-the-self-compassion-daily-journal-dr-diana-hill/ before May 15th to enter for a chance to win.
