SESSION 2: STRATEGIES FOR CAREGIVERS MENTAL WELLBEING

Week 2: The Self-Compassionate Caregiver (March 15th)

Manage your inner critic through developing your soothing self.

In this session, we will learn how to utilize the mind-body connection to bring relaxation, self- compassion, and overall mindfulness to our experiences. There is significant research demonstrating the positive impact of practicing mindfulness techniques on one’s emotional health and ability to cope with ongoing stress. Together, we will explore the meaning of self-compassion and its three components: (1) notice your suffering, (2) treat yourself with kindness and (3) remembering that you are human. You will walk away with practical tips and strategies to incorporate self-compassion into your life and caregiving role.
