Thursday, May 20, 2027 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm
Self-compassion, the emotional attitude of bringing kindness to yourself when things go wrong, can be learned, cultivated, and applied to your life with wonderful results. Strongly linked to well-being, self-compassion reduces negative states, including depression, anxiety, and stress, and boosts positive states, including happiness, life satisfaction, and optimism. Psychologist and Health & Wellness Coach Ellen Albertson will share practices that can increase your self-compassion.
