  Are you hard on yourself after making a small mistake? Do you feel like you need to succeed in every aspect of your life and be perfect at everything?

  Self-compassion is about giving ourselves the same kindness and care we would give to a good friend. It is about acting the same way towards ourselves when we are suffering, failing or having a difficult time, and being able to understand our suffering without ignoring it.

  Instead of criticising and judging ourselves, being self-compassionate means that we respond to our personal failings with care and understanding.

  Mind is running this course is for anyone interested in developing their understanding of the impact self-criticism can have and what it means to be self-compassionate.

  • Understand what self-compassion and how it impacts your wellbeing
  • Understand barriers to self-compassion
  • Learn how to reduce self-criticism that can be harmful
