Self Compassion Talk with Kristin Neff, Ph.D
The Science of Self-Compassion---4:30-6pm---This talk will present theory and research on self-compassion, which a burgeoning empirical literature has shown to be powerfully associated with psychological wellbeing. It will distinguish self-compassion from self-esteem, and discuss research indicating that self-compassion is a more powerful and effective motivational tool than self-criticism. A brief self-compassion practice will also be taught that can be used in daily life. All are welcome to attend.
