Description
Simple ways to practice self-empathy - 2-4 hour workshop for up to 20 participants
Do you want to learn ways to cope better when overwhelmed by difficult messages from others (or even from yourself)? This session explores self-empathy as a way to translate shame and blame, and to transform guilt, resentment, and burn-out. Through a combination of lecture and practice, participants will apply Marshall Rosenberg’s compassionate Nonviolent Communication process (2015) as a way to go beyond surface self-care efforts. You will learn to identify your underlying needs and develop meaningful strategies to tend them. This practice is central to ensuring the resilience and reserves necessary to extend care to others, personally and professionally.
