Description
Outshining Trauma is a Nautilus Book Awards Gold Winner that offers a transformative journey of post-traumatic growth, spiritual insight, and deep compassion for the most challenging parts of yourself.
Ralph De La Rosa integrates Richard Schwartz's revolutionary Internal Family Systems (IFS) model with Buddhist meditation practice to offer a radically different healing paradigm.
If you've tried therapy and meditation but still encounter repetitive patterns and emotions, Outshining Trauma is for you. De La Rosa places the innovative, evidence-based model of IFS in the context of Buddhist meditation to demonstrate how healing trauma can lead you to your deepest spiritual nature.
This book provides clear conceptual frameworks to understand trauma, post-traumatic growth, and the close relationship between healing trauma and spirituality. You'll find numerous journal prompts, experiential practices, and guided meditations to help you:
- See that your mind is made up of disparate "parts" that carry their own views and intentions, which can become stuck in traumatic experiences.
- Recognize common types of inner parts in the IFS model, such as "Managers," "Firefighters," and "Exiles."
- Separate from a part inside of you that's holding grief, pain, or other difficult feelings and then elicit its concerns and wisdom.
- Utilise meditation as a method for opening to transformative self-compassion and self-love.
A survivor himself of depression, PTSD, and addiction, De La Rosa shares gripping, inspirational life stories to demonstrate the path of outshining trauma.
