How to develop self-compassion

We all know how easy it is to listen to our inner critic or revisit our past failures. Ruinating about the past or mentally criticising ourselves can easily become a habit. This is rarely helpful and simply saps our energy and focus. The alternative? Develop self-compassion so we can recognise our distress and commit to doing something helpful about it.

In this masterclass, Chartered Psychologist Dr. Richard MacKinnon will introduce the concept of self-compassion and share some simple practices that will help you cultivate it to support your personal development, your life at work and your navigation of life's challenges. This will include:

• What self-compassion actually is
• Busting common myths and misunderstandings about self-compassion
• What a lack of self-compassion looks and feels like
• How self-compassion supports our performance and wellbeing
• Simple self-compassion practices to add to your routine
• Building compassion for others

As with all our masterclasses, the session will be recored and shared afterwards, along with the slides and other relevant resources.
