Workshops

Introduction to Self-Compassion

  • Do you have difficulty being kind to yourself?
  • Do you have a strong inner critic part?
  • Do you expect too much from yourself?

Learning about Self-Compassion may help!

Self-Compassion is a therapeutic approach grounded in psychology research and evidence of benefits, which can gently but radically transform your relationship with yourself: your feelings, self-image, circumstances and vulnerabilities.

In this course you will learn about the theory, neurobiology, impacts and practice of Self-Compassion, and you will experience its effects for yourself – guided by your facilitators.

The course encourages learning and discovering through exercises, personal reflection, and group discussions. We will hold the challenges of living with chronic illness in focus throughout the course, because Self-Compassion is particularly relevant to anyone living with a neurological condition or disability.

When: 7-week workshop beginning 13 March. 10am-12pm

Where: North Beach

RSVP: 24 February to Dajana.Tesevic@mswa.org.au 0429 267 970 or Eve.parsons@mswa.org.au 0427 124 391
