Mindful Self-Compassion
The way we treat ourselves matters more than we realize. This 8-week course empowers you to work through the difficult moments of life with more grace.
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) improves emotional resilience, which helps us get through overwhelming experiences. Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing. We practice noticing our difficult thoughts and feelings while staying open and curious. Self-compassion encourages us to be kind and understanding toward ourselves. This allows us to soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting.
Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable you to open yourself to the present moment and feel connected to your world.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
– Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person
