Ten years after the success of its first publication, this updated and revised edition - with over 50 per cent brand new material - contains a wealth of strategies for coping well when life truly hurts. You'll learn how to handle all those difficult thoughts, feelings, emotions and memories; how to take the impact out of them - and let them flow through you without sweeping you away. You'll discover how to be there for yourself in a kind and supportive way; how to take a courageous stand in the face of your loss; and how to rebuild your life, one small step at a time. 'Deeply moving and easy to understand, The Reality Slap is a book that takes us to the heart of being human, to really help us change from the inside.'- Professor Paul Gilbert, PhD, author of The Compassionate Mind 'This wise book is one to keep within reach. It will do more than soothe - it will ground you, guide you and help you grow.' - Steven C. Hayes, Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, and author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
