F2) Managing Stress and Building Resilience
Using Mindful Self-Compassion
Presented by Judy Clarke, M.Ed. Counseling Psychology,
Team HR, LLC
Class Description:
In this workshop, you’ll learn about an emerging mindfulness intervention that focuses on self-compassion practices. Learn what the research says about how self-compassion builds resilience and emotional well-being, and cultivates positive states of mind. The focus of the workshop will be on the science of Mindful Self-Compassion and its relationship to mediating the body’s threat defense system (our stress response of fight, flight, and freeze), along with mindfulness practices and valuable tools designed to enable you to respond to difficult moments and stress in your life with kindness, care and understanding. Self-compassion can be learned by anyone.
Activities will include meditation, short talks, experiential exercises and group discussion. The goal is for participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life. It is based in part on the eight-week Mindful Self-Compassion program and the ground breaking research of Kristen Neff, Ph.D. and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer, Ph.D.
Learning Objectives:
