Learn to identify and practice self-compassion
What is self-compassion?
In this virtual workshop hosted by the BC Council for Families, we will review some of the myths about self-compassion in order to help us define what it truly means. We will then introduce the three pillars of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness.
Through individual activities and group discussion, we will explore the benefits of self-compassion, resistance to it, and the origins of this resistance. You will learn strategies to incorporate self-compassion into your personal and professional practice, which can help reduce stress and strengthen relationships with your colleagues, clients, friends and family.
