MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) combines the skills of mindfulness and
self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. Research shows
self-compassionate people hold themselves accountable for mistakes yet they are
less afraid of failure and are more likely to try again after failing. MSC is an
empirically-supported 8-week program designed to cultivate the skill of
self-compassion, co-developed by Dr. Chris Germer, a CMC senior advisor and
co-founder of our Center.

Social worker and researcher Brené Brown recently interviewed Dr. Germer in a
two-part discussion about self-compassion on her podcast Unlocking Us. She
mentions CMC and this Mindful Self-Compassion course in the introduction. Rather
than being a weakness, studies continue to show that self-compassion is a key
factor of success in overcoming challenging life situations and supporting
self-confidence.

We welcome you to explore Mindful Self-Compassion tools and resources, including
guided meditation and a course overview, through the Center for Mindful
Self-Compassion (CMSC) website. See this overview of the themes explored over
the 8 weeks and learning objectives and outcomes.

COURSE PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS

“MSC helped me to welcome, soften, and let go of my inner critic. Practicing
Self Compassion has changed my life.”

“MSC supported me, for the first time in my life, to have the courage to really
see myself as I am, without a mask, the guard of my inner critic, or a fake
outer smile.”
