Cultivating Self-Compassion

An Experiential Workshop For Therapists

Presented by Dr. Bianka Hardin, PsyD, SEP, NARM Master Therapist

As therapists, we skillfully weave empathy into the lives of others, yet often find it challenging to extend the same grace to ourselves.

In this immersive workshop, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where we will explore the essence of self-compassion—a vital elixir that nurtures self-understanding, acceptance, and rejuvenation. 

Discover how embracing self-compassion not only enhances your well-being but also equips you with valuable tools to guide your clients on their own journey of healing and growth.

Delve into the heart of this practice, uncover the barriers that hinder its embrace, and tap into its profound potential to safeguard against burnout and compassion fatigue.

Participant Takeaways:

  • Walking the Talk: Discover the art of authentic self-compassion. Explore how embodying the principles we teach can enrich our therapeutic presence and deepen our connections with those we help.

  • Unlocking Self-Compassion: Gain insights into the fundamental elements of self-compassion and identify the obstacles that stand between you and its nurturing presence in your life.

  • Empowering Therapeutic Self-Care: Embrace self-compassion as a potent tool for fortifying therapist self-care. Discover how it can shield you from vicarious trauma and offer solace amidst collective challenges.

  • Embodied Experience: Immerse yourself in a thoughtfully curated collection of self-compassion exercises. Bridge the gap between understanding and embodiment, finding profound support after navigating the complexities of therapeutic work.

Elevate your therapeutic practice by prioritizing your own well-being. Join us for this transformative workshop to nurture your therapeutic resilience, elevate your well-being, and authentically embrace self-compassion as both a personal practice and a potent tool for transformation in your therapeutic endeavors. The journey to enriching your therapeutic self-care begins within.
