What is self-compassion?
In this workshop hosted by the BC Council for Families, we will explore some of the myths about self-compassion as well as what self-compassion is and what it is NOT. We will introduce the three pillars of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness, and explore them both individually and collectively. We will look at some of the benefits of self-compassion and the resistance we experience to it, including the beliefs that lead to this resistance.
