Embracing Self-Compassion: Developing Resilience in Challenging Times
Suzanna McCarthy
Self-Care is important, but Self-Compassion goes deeper. This presentation explores practical ways to quiet the inner critic, calm the nervous system, and build resilience. Participants will leave with simple practices to meet life's challenges with greater kindness, balance, and hope.
