Relieving Depression: Learning the Power of Self-Empathy

Self-empathy is a subtle skill that teaches mindfulness of thoughts and awareness of uncomfortable feelings and needs.

Learning self-empathy isn't about affirmations or trying to talk yourself out of your feelings.

It's about catching the thoughts that contribute to your depression and finding your way out of them.

As you learn the skill of self-empathy it gets easier to translate self-critical thoughts into feelings and needs and the actions to meet your needs.

Join us for the one day workshop to learn and practice self-empathy and become free from self-criticism.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Name the conscious and unconscious ways you talk to yourself lead to depression.

Understand the purpose those critical voices serve.

Release yourself from the internal battle with your critical voices and move into compassionate dialogues with yourself.

Work individually with coaching.

Work in pairs in structured exercises.

See facilitators role play your critical voices and demonstrate how to dialogue with them.

When:Saturday, December 18th , 9am - 5pm

Each participant will receive a workbook to take home to support continued learning. Daitetsu Hall will co-lead this workshop with me. He is a Zen priest at Great Vow Zen Monestary and regularly leads trainings in NVC and Voice Dialogue.
