Mindful Self-Compassion: How Befriending Your Inner Critic Can Transform Your Relationships - presented by Copper Beech Institute

Have you ever noticed that it is often easier to be kind and patient towards others, yet when it comes to ourselves, we can be highly judgmental? Mindful self-compassion is the practice of directly cultivating goodwill toward ourselves, especially when facing challenges. In this workshop, we will discover simple ways to practice befriending ourselves and releasing inner judgment. Through guided practice, reflection, and discussion, we will uncover ways that we can begin to respond to ourselves with understanding and kindness. As we transform our own inner relationship, our outer relationships also improve. Studies have shown that practicing self-compassion leads to decreased stress, anxiety, depression, and greater social connectedness and happiness.
