SUMMARY:An Introduction to Mindful Self Compassion with Barb Smith: a free evening workshop
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported program designed to cultivate self-compassion and is based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Chritopher Germer. \nMindfulness opens us to the present moment. Kindness and compassion opens our hearts to suffering so that we can give ourselves what we need. Common humanity opens us to our inter-relatedness so that we realize that we are not alone. \nResearch has demonstrated that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being\, less anxiety\, depression and stress\, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise and satisfying personal relationships. MSC practices enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness\, care\, and understanding. \nStudies confirm that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being; less anxiety\, depression and stress; maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise and more satisfying personal relationships!  And it is easier than you think. \nConsider attending this workshop if you are experiencing: \n\nirritability\nburn out or care-giver fatigue                                             \ndifficult emotions\nrelentless inner critic\nshame and other negative emotions\njudgment towards others\ndifficulty in interpersonal relationships\nrumination\nlittle joy or appreciation in your life\nsuffering\n\nA moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.” – Christopher Germer \nThis workshop will be an introduction to MSC and it’s origins along with  introducing some of the basic MSC practices. It will be a combination of didactic and practice with lots of time for discussion. \nBarbara Smith\, MFA\, MS psych\, RP has been a registered Psychotherapist in private practice for three decades.
