Self-Love and Self-Compassion Course

FREE Introductory class: *learn the 3 core aspects of self-compassion *practice a self-love meditation *have time for Q&A Free Introduction 💗💐 to Self-Love and Self-Compassion If our parents were overly critical, emotionally abusive, not present enough, or some form of under-affirming, we retain scars of their message: we're not worthy of deep love. We truly are, but it takes work to fully realize it. In addition to facilitating group reflection on the Self-Compassion Workbook, I'll show how we can listen deeply and lovingly to our truths and model an empathic self-talk of kindness and acceptance.

Book the 8 week course at www.DivineNatureTherapy.com/book-online ***** More about this course: We will explore about ten chapters of The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook: A Proven Way to Accept Yourself, Build Inner Strength, and Thrive, by Kristin Neff: https://a.co/d/btp2o2s . (You can buy it or borrow it from a library.) One chapter will be the focus each week, and you can come having read the information and done the exercises as much as you can. (I understand that sometimes life prevents us from doing what we intend- it's truly okay.) The book is 24 chapters long, and you’re welcome to work the rest on your own, or reach out to me for individual support with it. This book contains many of the exercises like ones I teach in individual sessions, because many people need them. A group offers us the experience to: ~honor a shared human experience of struggle and growth ~help ourselves stay accountable to practicing, ~receive empathy (be compassionately seen and heard), and ~get extra support from Shannon at a group rate.
