Mindful Self-Compassion
This 8-week course empowers you to work through the difficult moments of life with more kindness and openness toward yourself.
Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer, Mindful Self-Compassion teaches core principles and practices that enable you to treat yourself with the same kindness you'd offer a loved one.
There are three main components to Self-Compassion: Self-Kindness, Common Humanity, and Mindfulness.
As a whole, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) improves emotional resilience, helping you get through overwhelming experiences. These practices have been shown to increase happiness, optimism, personal initiative, and curiosity.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
– Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person
