Scientific research on self-compassion has shown that it can significantly improve mental health and well-being. A study by Neff (2003) found that individuals who practice self-compassion experience lower levels of anxiety, depression, and stress, and higher levels of life satisfaction and emotional resilience. Additionally, a meta-analysis by Zessin, Dickhäuser, and Garbade (2015) revealed that self-compassion is positively correlated with psychological well-being and is an effective buffer against negative emotions. These findings suggest that cultivating self-compassion can be a valuable strategy for enhancing emotional health and coping with life's challenges.
This class is designed to help you develop a sustainable self-compassion practice, empowering you to approach life’s challenges with greater kindness and emotional strength.
