"The Substance of You"- Self-Compassion Workshop | Self-Empathy | Scoop.it
As we gently tap into other people’s suffering, our compassion grows. We can see, understand, and sense what the other is going through without becoming enmeshed. Our hearts can embrace others in their suffering, as well as their joy.

Self-compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. This class will provide realistic tools/practice exercises giving you the ability to be more compassionate not only for others but for Your-Self as well.

Adams and Leary (2007) define self-compassion as the ability to react with self-kindness and understanding when encountering difficult situations. In addition, self-compassion involves mindfulness of nonjudgmental awareness, and acceptance of one’s common humanity and understanding that they are part of a larger experience, and that others too share the common experience of difficult situations and emotions
