SUMMARY:Meeting Stress with Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Session Description:\nAfter living through some of the most challenging experiences most of us have ever faced\, prioritizing our own well-being has become especially challenging to sustain. Many of us are struggling with balancing work and life and are exhausted by the limited time for self-care amid overwhelming demands. \nJoin us for this introduction to Mindful Self-compassion (MSC) to explore ways of extending compassion to ourselves when we need it most – during stress or struggle. Rather than adding to our to-do list\, the practice of self-compassion incorporates tools and perspectives to employ on-the-spot anytime\, anywhere. Compassion is considered to be an energizing emotion and can help us to feel more connected with others and with our own inner resources and wisdom. \nSelf-compassion involves being caring and supportive to ourselves when we experience difficulty: listening to ourselves with understanding; remembering we are not alone in our struggles; soothing\, comforting\, and protecting ourselves; and making changes out of self-love and a commitment to growth. \nResearch has demonstrated that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing\, enhanced coping with life challenges\, lower levels of anxiety and depression\, and sustaining healthy habits. \nThis introduction to self-compassion will include: \n\nTime for quiet reflection\nA brief discussion on the components of self-compassion\nExperiential learning: An invitation to try on-the-spot self-compassion practices for moments of stress\nTime to discuss learnings and connect with others (this will be optional)\nTips on simple and practical ways of starting or building upon a self-compassion practice\n\nThe session will be based on the work of Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer and the empirically supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program. \nSuggested reading for the session: \n\nThe Transformative Effects of Self-Compassion by Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer\n\n\nPlease register for this event to receive the Zoom URL\nRegister for Meeting Stress with Compassion – October 13th\, 2021 \n\nPresenter Bios:\nHeather Shaughnessy-Cato\, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Trained Teacher \nHeather is a Mindful Self-Compassion Trained Teacher\, Certified Coach in Wellness & Health and Life Design\, yoga teacher\, and facilitator.
