This group combines the skills of both mindfulness and self-compassion. Mindfulness will begin the journey of emotional healing by helping us to turn toward and acknowledge when we have a difficult thought, feeling, or sensation with a sense of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion will then help us in responding to those difficulties with kindness, sympathy, and understanding. We will learn to soothe and comfort ourselves during moments of pain and suffering.
