Short Mindful Self-Compassion Course

From past participants:

“The most striking effect of this course on me was realizing that I was offering my patients the love and compassion that I did not offer myself. It made me realize that self-compassion is about recognising your own needs, and that giving them to yourself is not selfish.”

“I've been given a new door. I realized I wasn't my feelings, they were "feelings felt." I realized that this had a positive effect on my relationship with myself, as well as on my relationships in my professional life.”

“Being aware of emotions, accepting them, approaching yourself with compassion can be healing and liberating. I didn't know how to do approach this. You kept me on track.”

  • We will meet via Zoom. Video cameras are required to be on to create sense of community.

    Reliable Internet.
