Self-Compassion
March 22, 2022
Do you ever compare yourself negatively with others or feel you’re not good enough?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! The good news is there are practical skills we can learn to be more compassionate to ourselves.
Many of us are prone to self-criticism and shame. And we all experience difficult emotions – like anger, anxiety or sadness – that can lead to pain and suffering if we don’t know how to handle them.
At this event, Dr Chris Irons will share why we experience emotions, how they can be helpful but also how and why we can get in to struggles with them. He will also introduce his Compassionate Mind model to help you learn a new approach to manage your difficult emotions and lead a happier life.
His scientifically proven approach will help you be kinder to yourself, reduce self-criticism and cope better in challenging times.
The event will take place on Zoom at 7pm London time (GMT).
