In-Person: Self-Compassion 101
with Gary Singer
Wednesdays, May 15th – June 26th, 2024
In this course, we’ll use mindfulness to investigate how we treat ourselves in the privacy of our own minds. Why does our Inner Critic tend to treat ourselves worse than we would anyone else? What stories might we be telling about ourselves and others that might simply be untrue? Can we stop the incessant comparison to others? Can we finally befriend ourselves?
