The New Motherhood Workbook - Developing a compassionate mind for you, your baby and your family

Learn how to develop compassion for yourself and your family It is well-known that having a baby can be a time of joy but also one of anxiety. The seemingly short period of time through pregnancy and infancy is one to which mothers have to devote a huge amount of thought and physical effort to give their children the best start in life. This fascinating and practical self-help book will guide mothers-to-be and new mothers through the maze of confusing feelings that can arise. Developing compassion towards ourselves and others and compassionately understanding the evolutionary models that motivate us, threaten us and soothe us, allows to change our behaviour and better manage our difficulties. This workbook will teach you powerful techniques for creating a sense of support and safeness for you and your baby in which you can flourish. USING THIS WORKBOOK, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT: - How to understand and attune to the mind of your child for a healthier and more rewarding relationship - How to raise a child who will also be compassionate, helpful and positive in their relationships Filled with interactive exercises and practical skills, The New Motherhood Workbook will be a source of support through the perinatal period. 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.
