What is Mindful Self-Compassion?
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an intensive 8-week training that combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to provide a powerful tool for emotional resilience. MSC can assist in overcoming depression and anxiety as well as improve relationships and increase overall well-being.
This program, designed by Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer, is based on extensive psychological research and is being taught all around the world to help people overcome perfectionism, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve relationships.
