Fleeting negative thoughts and criticising ourselves is part of the human experience. Developing self compassion has been shown to be an effective way to minimise emotional challenges

Compassion is a virtue we can all foster and cultivate with practice. Research shows a strong relationship between increased self compassion and improved wellbeing. Over time practicing self compassion can:

  • improve mood
  • lessen anxiety
  • reduce loneliness.

In this session, we'll explore self compassion and learn exercises to develop a practice. We'll focus on how parents can support their children and perhaps learn some skills themselves along the way.
