Description: Research demonstrates that self-compassion is significantly linked to increased happiness, vitality, motivation and optimism and decreased anxiety, depression and stress. Even more promising, self-compassion has been demonstrated to be a mutable trait–cultivated through the practice of guided meditations and daily informal exercises and meditations. In this workshop, Karen Bluth and Laura Prochnow Phillips will provide the foundation of mindful self-compassion practice. Participants will gain an understanding of the components of self-compassion, misgivings of self-compassion, and directly experience a number of practices which cultivate self-compassion. These practices can be instrumental to mental health practitioners both for their own self-care as well as helping clients.
