Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Program: Introduction Session

UCSF Faculty & Staff Assistance Program Presents:

Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Program

The purpose of the 8-week course is to increase self-awareness through a heart centered approach. Through the lens of self-compassion, this mindfulness course will promote greater self-acceptance, an increased ability to endure difficult emotions, and provide self-soothing techniques during moments of inner chaos. Through practice, planting the seeds of mindfulness self-compassion can result in the healing of old self-defeating patterns such as self-criticism and blame. Over time, and with the support of a group, the subtler qualities of self-compassion, wisdom, and inner stability can emerge.
