Mindful Self-Compassion Learning Objectives:

This course supports an individual's journey on a mindful self-compassion path, and does not prepare nor certify participants to teach the course materials to other adults or educators. With the completion of this course, our goal is for participants to develop a basic understanding and application of the elements of Mindful Self-Compassion practice, including: 
 

1. Familiarity with definitions, theory, and research supporting Mindful Self-Compassion.
2. Motivating themselves with compassion rather than self-criticism.
3. Fostering an improved relationship to difficult emotions with greater moment-to-moment acceptance.
4. Responding to feelings of failure or inadequacy with self-kindness.
5. Transforming difficult relationships, old and new, through self-validation.
6. Practicing the art of savoring and self-appreciation.
7. Integrating core Mindful Self-Compassion practices into daily life, both personally and professionally.
8. Learning tools and strategies to address the caregiver fatigue participants experience, while also developing an awareness of the habits, systems, and structures that are contributing to that fatigue.
