In this standard Mindful Self Compassion 8 week Course you will learn:
* How to stop being so hard on yourself
* How to handle difficult emotions with greater ease
* How to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticism
* How to transform difficult relations, both old and new
* Mindfulness and self-compassion practices for home and everyday life
* The theory and research behind mindful self-compassion
* How to become your own best teacher
A randomized, controlled trial demonstrated that MSC significantly increased self-compassion, compassion for others, mindfulness, and life satisfaction, as well as decreased depression, anxiety and stress. Improvements were linked to how much a person practiced mindfulness and self-compassion in their daily lives.
