Doctor, what would you be capable of, if you weren’t so hard on yourself?

Life can be tough - and that inner dialogue of yours doesn’t make it any easier.

Beating yourself up, endlessly re-running old conversations, judging your actions, or reminding you that you’re always the one to blame. Maybe you’re struggling with unhealthy relationships, negative self-talk, caregiver fatigue, or emotions so overwhelming that they can take you over. 

 

All that harsh self-talk only makes things worse. It can strip away your confidence, lead you into anxiety and depression and suck the joy out of life. 

 

Thankfully, there is a kinder way to do life. 

Introducing Self-Compassion Coaching for Woman in Medicine

A 6-week journey into kindness, understanding and compassion for yourself and others.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidenced-based methodology that can completely transform the way you do life and practice medicine - for good.

 

Developed from the groundbreaking work of Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer, MSC has three key components: Mindfulness, Common Humanity and Self-Kindness.

 

Through Mindfulness we learn to ground ourselves in the present moment, greeting our thoughts and emotions with openness and curiosity. 

 

Common Humanity reminds us that we are not alone. Our emotions and our struggles are universal and part of the human experience.

 

Self-kindness teaches us to treat ourselves as we would a dear friend, responding with kindness, sympathy and understanding, so that we may soothe our own hurts in difficult moments.

 

With MSC, you’ll learn how to encourage and motivate yourself with kindness and compassion rather than with criticism and harsh judgment. MSC is proven to boost happiness, reduce anxiety and depression, help you stick to healthy lifestyle changes, and live life with greater ease, wellbeing and resilience.

"Loved this stress reset - I already have a regular mindfulness and meditation practice and use this with patients I felt like I was fairly knowledgeable, but I really liked your structure and approach. Simple, well described, and easy to follow. I've been using the northern lights concept since and found it super helpful! If I wasn't already doing mindfulness I would definitely be interested in your course.

Thanks so much :-)"
