About Mindful Self-Compassion Therapy

 Mindful self-compassion therapy is an approach based in principles of Buddhism including mindfulness, compassion, and interconnectedness. All humans experience suffering, it is part of our human life. Self-compassion is a skillful way to work with our experiences of suffering. Instead of trying to "power through" our hard experiences, this approach encourages us to be honest, thoughtful, and caring towards ourselves.

When we relate to our emotions with compassion, we can experience more acceptance of difficult emotions and even heal shame. 

3 Pillars of Mindful Self Compassion:

• Mindfulness – noticing what is happening in the present moment without judgment
   
• Common humanity – recognizing that struggle is part of being human, not a personal failure
   
• Self-kindness – offering support to yourself the way you might to a loved one
