Introduction to Mindful Self-Compassion
January 8, 2017 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
$25.00
“Actually, when bad things happen to us, we tend to have three unfortunate reactions:
self-criticism, self-isolation, and self-absorption.
Self-compassion can direct us exactly in the opposite direction:
self-kindness, recognizing the common humanity in our experience, and a balanced approach to negative emotions.”
Christopher K. Germer,

Self-compassion is a courageous mental attitude that stands up to harm—the harm that we inflict on ourselves every day by overworking,overeating, overanalyzing, and overreacting.
It helps us recognize when we’re under stress face what’s happening in our lives (mindfulness) and take a kinder approach to life’s challenges.
