Course Overview

Course Overview
Explore what self-compassion is and how you can develop yours for a happier life, Thursdays 1-2.30pm

Open Is this course right for me?

The objectives for this course are to explore and demonstrate compassion for ourselves and create a personal self-compassion ‘toolkit’. It may be particularly helpful for those who have a noisy ‘inner critic’ or may describe themselves as “perfectionists”. This course is for people who are focused on enhancing and maintaining their well-being. People who are currently navigating a mental health crisis may find this learning environment challenging and are encouraged to seek alternative appropriate support from local services. If you have a trauma-related diagnosis, you may wish to discuss this with the course tutor before as the course will briefly explore adverse childhood experiences. We ask all attendees to take responsibility for their own learning and only take part in activities and learning which feels right for them.
