Sometimes it is easier to offer empathy to others than ourselves– let’s work the muscle that is self-empathy and find ways to resource ourselves with more support, acknowledgment, and presence. In this session, you will explore what a self-empathy practice can look like for you.
We will explore getting in touch with feelings and needs, and explore where and how these may sit physically in our bodies. Being able to name and give qualities to our emotional experiences can support us to acknowledge our feelings and reactions make sense. We will find ways to distinguish between the part of us which is having the emotional experience, and the part of us which is witnessing the part having the emotional experience, and how this feels to do. There will be a demonstration of what a self-empathy practice can look like and time to practice in small groups. There will also be space for discussion, sharing, and reflection.
