With it’s roots stemming from deep within Buddhism, developing self-compassion is making it’s way into the mainstream as a therapeutic approach, helping clients to develop kindness, warmth and openness to their emotions and patterns.
Trauma patterns can run deep within the psyche as the body constricts; staying frozen in time. Self-compassion can feel inaccessible and create layers of shame as client’s fail again and again to make more positive and rewarding changes for themselves. Compassion is the key to living a more resourceful life and in this workshop you’ll gain an insight into how to harness this key and support your client to soften their trauma defences.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- the neurobiology of compassion
- ideas from Paul Gilbert and Gabor Mate on compassion and it’s role in healing
- creative tools for exploring all parts of a clients being in a compassionate way
- the Cycle of Destruction and how to replace with the Cycle of Compassion
