Self-compassion helps us let go of identification with the belief that we’re not good enough. With its warm support, we learn to untangle from our negative thoughts and emotions and embrace our inherent wholeness.
Our unconscious conditioning—influenced by our family, genetics, and culture—often tells us we’re inadequate and need to be different in order to be happy. Compassion helps us remember who we truly are versus who we’ve been conditioned to be. It transforms our contracted and limited view of ourselves, opening to a larger, more connected, and powerful sense of loving presence.
Research shows that self-compassion is strongly linked to psychological and physical health, but our conditioning works against being kind to ourselves. In this program, researcher Kristin Neff teams up with meditation teacher Caverly Morgan to explore self-compassion from a scientific and contemplative lens, so that we can respond to difficult moments with greater warmth and perspective.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals
At the end of the program, you will be better able to:
- Identify the three key components of self-compassion.
- Describe contemporary research that supports the benefits of self-compassion.
- Explain how family, cultural and physiological conditioning can inhibit self-compassion.
- Utilize brief practices to increase self-compassion that may be used in a professional setting and in everyday life
- Apply compassion practices when needed to regulate difficult emotions.
- Explain mechanisms through which mindful presence supports self-compassion by promoting present-moment awareness and reducing emotional reactivity, allowing for a more compassionate response to suffering.
- Use contemplative techniques to help reduce identification with a negative self-view.
