Pre-recorded workshop available Monday 8 January for one week.
Self-compassion is a practice that we can use as a way of taking care of ourselves. It involves a desire to relieve personal suffering using basic kindness. Research has shown that self-compassion is linked with psychological wellbeing and reduced symptoms of poor mental health.
Unfortunately, self-criticism gets in the way of self-compassion: we speak to ourselves in a cruel or harsh tone instead of care and understanding.
This workshop will explore:
- Self-compassion versus self-criticism
- Self-compassion and the threat-drive-soothe system
- Developing compassionate ways of thinking
