Mindful Self-Compassion (Series)
Offered by Healthy IU, join us for this chance to re-learn how to include yourself in your own circle of caring. The course provides a number of ways to bring self-compassion into even the most stressful moments.
We are all good at attending to the needs of those around us, but we are often very hard on ourselves. And that is a set up for things like burnout, stress, and resentment. Research shows that people who adopt self-compassion practices have less depression and anxiety and are more likely to experience positive mind states like happiness and life satisfaction. Mindful Self-Compassion is a training developed by Kristen Neff, Ph.D., of the University of Texas at Austin, and Christopher Germer, Ph.D., of Harvard. It is a research-proven 6-week course with each session lasting an hour.
Here is a breakdown of the classes:
- Session 1: Exploring what self-compassion is and seeing how it does or does not show up for us, and then looking at ways to cultivate it.
- Session 2: Seeing how to bring more self-compassion into our lives with simple, easy to implement practices that can be done in the moment.
- Session 3: Looking at ways to work with the inner critic and to find our inner compassionate voice.
- Session 4: Using self-compassion to work with difficult emotions.
- Session 5: Investigating caregiver fatigue and burnout, and how self-compassion can remind us to offer care to ourselves as we attend to the needs of others.
- Session 6: Exploring the importance of our core values, and how self-compassion can help when we can’t completely live in alignment with those values. We will also look at the resources available to maintain a self-compassion practice.
