Hi, is it possible to get digital versions of these manuals?
I’m sorry I don’t have digital versions.

Thanks
You can find more meditations on Kristen Neff’s website. You can also look for mindful self compassion classes.
My new book, The Shyness Workbook, will be available on Amazon in February. You can order it from Amazon. It is based on the CBT manual and also incorporates compassion focused therapy.
You can order it on Amazon.
Can I purchase and work through the client manual to help myself with social anxiety?
Thank you so much!! I think I will buy your workbook instead 😁
The workbook is focused on developing a compassionate mind. The manuals are more focused on cognitive behavioral therapy and include goal setting, challenging negative automatic thoughts, role playing and rehearsing for the social encounter. They complement each other.
