In a competitive and overwhelming world like ours, many of us fall victim to judging, criticizing or comparing ourselves. We move by rote rather than our own internal awareness, we are battering rather than self-accepting, harsh rather than forgiving.
Mindful Self-Compassion teaches you to be more aware and open to the present moment, giving yourself what you truly need. It’s like being given a big STOP button to old habits that hurt you, while learning to embrace a kinder way that genuinely supports you, and that lives in truth. Self-compassion allows you to be fully human. It provides you with emotional strength and resilience. And it can be learned by anyone, even those who didn’t receive enough affection in childhood or who feel uncomfortable when they are good to themselves. __________________________ Mindful Self-Compassion is an empirically-supported, 8-week, training program, designed to cultivate the skill of Self-Compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research work of Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with greater kindness and understanding. Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that Self-Compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, less anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and satisfying personal relationships. And it’s easier than you think!
