ABOUT
There has never been a more important time to learn practices and techniques to help cultivate stability, calm, grounding, connection, and uplift. This course will allow you to develop the resources needed to help you to show up for yourself and support yourself in meeting the range of emotions you may be feeling at this time, and beyond!
This course has the benefit of being taught by Lucy and Ethan, two experienced teachers who bring a wealth of knowledge, and a gentle lightheartedness too! They are both part of the teaching faculty at The Sharpham Trust (a nationally acclaimed mindfulness organisation in the UK) where they offer the self-compassion retreat programme together.
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion.
Self-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience, allowing us to admit our shortcomings, motivate ourselves with kindness, forgive ourselves when needed, relate wholeheartedly to others, and be more authentically ourselves.
Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, less anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and satisfying personal relationships. And it’s easier than you think!
AFTER THIS COURSE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:
-
Practice self-compassion in daily life
-
Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
-
Recognise that expressing your needs and setting healthy boundaries is an act of compassion
-
Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
-
Transform challenging relationships, old and new
-
Manage caregiver fatigue
-
Practice the art of savoring and self-appreciation
This 8 week training officially qualifies as one of the pre-requisites for MSC teacher training AND Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (SCIP) certification.
