Description
Loving a hurting body is not easy. When things are rough, kindness and compassion can soften that experience. For many of us, however, being compassionate to ourselves can be challenging—especially when we struggle with chronic pain and health challenges.
Throughout this class series, you will learn how to use the tools of self-compassion to help your brain and nervous system counterbalance their autopilot modes around pain. Together, we will explore the latest scientific research on pain and self-compassion and combine it with ancient wisdom and compassion teachings. Each class session will contain brief lectures, practical exercises, guided meditations, small and large group sharing, and Q&A. This event is suitable for people living with chronic pain as well as healthcare providers working with people suffering from chronic pain.
