Description

Participants will be introduced to the pillars of self-compassion,and how to engage clients in self-compassion practices will be presented.

How often have you invited a client to talk to and treat themself as they would a friend, only to find the self-critical behavior continuing?

There are common beliefs that get in the way of clients adopting self-compassion practices. Without uncovering and addressing these beliefs,the chances of a client adopting self-compassion practices is low.

In this webinar,evidence-based CBT interventions will be taught that specifically address the obstacles of clients practicing self-compassion.

Given that self-criticism is a transdiagnostic process which maintains poor mental health, learning how to effectively engage clients in self-compassion is critically important.
