But self-compassion can be fierce as well as tender. \nFierce self-compassion involves taking action in the world to protect\, provide\, and motivate ourselves to alleviate suffering. It means saying “no” to others who are hurting us – drawing our boundaries firmly. It helps us to take a firm stance against injustice or unfairness without dehumanizing others. \nThis workshop will focus on the fierce aspect of self-compassion through lecture and experiential exercises. By learning to balance fierce and tender self-compassion\, you can begin to speak up\, draw boundaries\, and stand up for yourself with greater confidence.  \nThe workshop is most relevant for those who already have some experience and knowledge of self-compassion. \nCE Credits are available for live attendance at this workshop.  See below for details. \n  \n  URL:https://self-compassion.org/event/introduction-to-fierce-self-compassion-workshop-sept-13-2025/ CATEGORIES:Internal: Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://self-compassion.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/SCC-Fierce-SC-Workshop-1.webp ORGANIZER;CN="The Self-Compassion Community":MAILTO:SCCommunity@self-compassion.org LOCATION:https://self-compassion.org/event/introduction-to-fierce-self-compassion-workshop-sept-13-2025/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250917T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250917T160000 DTSTAMP:20250822T052845 CREATED:20250617T144337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250510T144504Z UID:10000807-1758121200-1758124800@self-compassion.org SUMMARY:Mentor Session w/Amy DESCRIPTION:Mentor sessions are an opportunity to join the self-compassion community and our self-compassion mentors in practice and discussion around a variety of self-compassion topics.

Rather than continually judging and evaluating ourselves\, self-compassion involves generating kindness toward ourselves as imperfect humans\, and learning to be present with the inevitable struggles of life with greater strength and balance. It motivates us to make needed changes in our lives not because we’re worthless or inadequate\, but because we care about ourselves and want to lessen our suffering.   \nResearch shows that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available to us\, enhancing both mental and physical health. It is also a skill we can learn and practice. \nThis workshop will provide an introduction to the basic concepts and research on self-compassion through lecture\, discussion\, and experiential exercises. You will gain practical tools to bring it into your daily life\, including how to support yourself in difficult moments; work with distressing emotions; and motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism.  \nThe workshop is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals.
