SUMMARY:Self-Compassion for Work Stress and Burnout\, with Kristin Neff
DESCRIPTION:Our work – both our paid employment and work as unpaid caregivers – is an important source of fulfillment. But work can also involve high levels of stress.  When the stress exceeds our capacity to cope\, we may feel drained\, empty\, irritable\, or useless. We’re also likely to blame ourselves for feeling this way. In other words\, work stress often leads to burnout. \nFortunately\, research shows that self-compassion is a helpful antidote to burnout.  The caring stance of self-compassion helps us to create work-life balance\, be less overwhelmed by stress\, and encourage rather than blame ourselves when things are difficult.  \nThis workshop will use lecture\, discussion\, and experiential exercises to help you learn to be self-compassionate so you can reduce work stress and burnout. Simple tools will be provided to help you cope on the job\, so you can support yourself when you need it most. \nThe workshop is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals. CE credits are available\, see below for more information.

SUMMARY:Integrating Self-Compassion into Therapy\, with Chris Germer
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help clinicians integrate self-compassion into their therapy practices. There is growing empirical evidence for self-compassion as a transdiagnostic and transtheoretical mechanism of action in therapy. This workshop is an introduction to the theory\, research and practice of self-compassion-based therapy\, comprehensively described in the new book by Mindful Self-Compassion teachers Galia Tyano Ronen and Shari Geller – Grounding Psychotherapy in Self-Compassion. We’ll explore the three levels in which self-compassion can be integrated into psychotherapy—compassionate presence\, compassionate relationship\, and compassionate interventions. Special attention will be given to working with trauma and shame. This workshop consists of talks\, short meditations\, discussion and a role play demonstration. \nWho can benefit from this workshop? Mental health professionals and social workers. CE credits are available\, see below for more information.

SUMMARY:How Caregivers can Nurture Self-Compassion in Children\, with Jamie Lynn Tatera
DESCRIPTION:Many caregivers wonder how to help young children deal skillfully with their difficult feelings and treat themselves with kindness. Each child is unique\, and there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach for helping kids grow self-compassion. In this workshop\, we will explore how you can customize self-compassion for particular children\, including modeling\, conversation\, and play. You will experience many of the playful activities and metaphors that Jamie Lynn developed for her Mindfulness and Self-Compassion for Children and Caregivers (MSC-CC) program. For instance\, you’ll learn how animals can be a gateway for conversations about feelings with kids\, and how you can make the components of self-compassion accessible for children. You will leave equipped with effective ideas and creative exercises that will help you support yourself and the young children in your life. \nWho can benefit from this workshop? Parents\, grandparents\, clinicians\, social workers and educators of kids. The target age is caregivers of kids 6-12\, but the content is also relevant for older and younger children. \nJust announced: Earn CE Credits with this workshop. See below for more information.

SUMMARY:Conversation with Richard Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:Richard Schwartz\, PhD is the internationally renown creator of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapeutic approach (see him talk about it here).  IFS helps people identify internal parts such as protectors\, managers and exiles\, and develop compassion and appreciation for how these parts try to keep us safe.  IFS also introduces the idea of Self\, which is behind our parts and is naturally compassionate. He’s the best-selling author of many books\, including Introduction to Internal Family Systems and No Bad Parts. His recent book You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For helps people to stop outsourcing love and compassion to their romantic partner and instead find true satisfaction and fulfillment within. \nJoin us for a compelling conversation as we delve into the role of self-compassion in Dick’s life and the role that self-compassion plays in bringing healing to our internal parts and our relationships.
