Why learn to be more compassionate with yourself? How can being more compassionate with yourself give you power?

Most of us are critical of ourselves, often we talk to ourselves in ways that we would never talk to others. We believe that we have to be critical of ourselves in order to motivate ourselves, but actually being self compassionate, is much more motivating. When we get rid of shame and guilt we are able to be present to ourselves and to make the changes we want to make. As we learn to be more compassionate with ourselves, we also become more compassionate with others.

This workshop is based on teachings from Nonviolent or Compassionate Communication (NVC), and is appropriate for both those who have taken past workshops in NVC as well as those who have no knowledge of NVC at all.
