Drawing on early Buddhist psychology, the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, and contemporary self-compassion research, Tim Desmond shows how depression grows from patterns of self-criticism, shame, and learned helplessness, as well as how these patterns can be transformed with clarity and tenderness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach short chapter offers a concrete practice, from recognizing the energy of difficult emotions in the body to cultivating the small joys and connections that strengthen resilience. Interwoven with teachings on loving-awareness, impermanence, and nurturing wholesome mental formations, the book supports a shift in how readers hold themselves and their experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor anyone seeking depression recovery through authentic Buddhist practice--not just Buddhist-flavored therapy--this is a rare and hopeful resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47440488562857,"sku":"PHBK-9781324082453","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/11508923482659.jpg?v=1789072378","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/buddhist-practices-for-overcoming-depression","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
