Turning Back to Ourselves explores the pain of self-abandonment, the mind states of self-judgment, self-doubt, and even self-hatred that women too often find themselves experiencing. Drawing on Buddhist practices of mindfulness, compassion, and lovingkindness, and on her experience as a psychotherapist, Dalya Tamir offers a path for women to turn back and embrace themselves with kindness and love. Through teachings, stories, and reflections, the reader is guided to reconnect with her own innate wisdom, creativity, and aliveness, opening her heart to herself and in growing circles to all living beings. Even though the book was written for women it offers a path for people of all gender identities that have experienced self-abandonment and wish to find their way back to their wise and compassionate self.
