SELF COMPASSION:

Ten weeks  January 17-March 20, 2012 

1:00 to 2:30 pm

The research by Dr. Kristin Neff, author of "Self Compassion:  Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind" indicates that people who are compassionate toward their failings and imperfections experience greater well-being than those who repeatedly judge themselves. We will be sharing our experiences each week through the exercises in the chapters.  

THE MINDFUL PATH TO SELF COMPASSION: 
Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions 

Nine weeks  April 3-May 29, 2012 
1:00 to 2:30 pm

Christoper Germer, Ph.D. is the author of the above book we will be discussing and applying to our lives.  As he says "we all want to avoid pain but letting it in-and responding compassionately to our own imperfections, without judgment or self blame-are essential steps on the path to healing". 
This book offers creative, scientifically grounded strategies for putting self compassion into action.

SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATIONS

offer sessions in Holistic Psychotherapy. We help you integrate mind, body and spirit. Our goal is to assist you in connecting with your own inner wisdom.

We work with those facing:

1. physical challenges,

2. emotional concerns, (i.e., depression and anxiety) and

3. those facing a spiritual challenge in finding meaning in life or in their relationships.

We work in partnership with you to help you realize and actualize your potential so that you can become aware of your authentic self and purpose.  We also work with couples and families with problems with communication and conflict resolution.
