8-WEEK MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION TRAINING COURSE

As a teacher-in-training in the Teacher Certification sequence, Dr. Miller will begin offering the Kristen Neff, PhD and Christopher K. Germer, PhD empirically-supported program teaching Mindful Self-Compassion beginning in February 2017. Please find more information here.

As described by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, founded by Drs. Neff and Germer:

Mindful Self-Compassion training teaches us how to develop the warm-hearted, connected presence we need during moments of difficulty. Self-compassion provides the emotional strength and resilience needed to offer ourselves the same kindness and understanding we would offer a good friend. With self-compassion we can motivate ourselves with encouragement, forgive ourselves when needed,  face and befriend our shortcomings, care for others while caring for self, and live more authentically. Research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, lower levels of anxiety and depression, healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and more satisfying personal relationships.

And, self-compassion is a skill that can be learned and cultivated by anyone through Mindful Self-Compassion Training.

In this course, you will:

  • Practice mindfulness and self-compassion in daily life

  • Learn about the science of self-compassion

  • Learn how to handle difficult emotions with greater ease

  • Learn how to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism

  • Learn how to transform challenging relationships, old and new

  • Learn tools to manage compassion fatigue

  • Practice the art of savoring and self-appreciation

  • Be able to teach simple self-compassion practices to others
