SELF-COMPASSION MEDITATION COURSE

The 10 week Doc Garrison Mindful Self-Compassion Mini Course is designed to help you to be more kind to yourself.  Evidence based, it is modeled after the work of Neff and Germer, the world leaders in Self-Compassion.  You will learn to talk to yourself more like a friend and motivate yourself for healthy behaviors with kindness and support rather than being so self critical.  Research has been extensive on Self-Compassion and here are some of the proven benefits:

​

Reductions in negative mind-states such as Anxiety, Depression, stress, rumination, thought suppression, perfectionism and shame

​

Increases in positive mine-states such as life satisfaction, happiness, connectedness, self-confidence, optimism, curiosity and gratitude
