Many people struggle with showing themselves compassion – they may be highly
critical of themselves, or wracked with feelings of shame, self-doubt or
self-worth – but with the right approach it is possible to help them develop
this key component of recovery and wellbeing.
This new online self-compassion course provides you with all you need to know to
bring self-compassion into your practice, your personal life and the lives of
others – with plenty of time to try out the techniques for yourself.

WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
Being compassionate towards ourselves when things go wrong, or we are struggling
to cope, is not self-pity – it is an essential skill that can be learnt and
developed, giving people the strength to move forward.
When things don’t go our way or we feel we can’t cope – or something bad has
happened to us – we may feel ashamed or blame ourselves for not being good
enough, capable enough, strong enough and so on. This negative self-criticism
can be highly damaging and hold us back. It is far more empowering to turn
towards ourselves with compassion (which is what self-compassion literally
means).
Helping people to find the best ways to draw out their self-compassion is a
skill that needs to be learned. Different from empathy (the ability to
appreciate what another person is experiencing) and from self-pity (which is
self-focused, exaggerates personal suffering and is disempowering and draining),
self-compassion enhances resilience, allowing us to recognise our personal
failings while appreciating that we are all human and make mistakes – thus
helping us to move on past them.
Learning how to use self-compassion from a human givens perspective makes it an
extra-valuable tool for supporting our clients in getting their innate needs met
and making best use of their innate resources. It may also help you in your own
life.
This indepth 1-day live online self-compassion experiential training day shows
you how.
