Self-compassion is an integral part of emotional health, and involves treating yourself with kindness, care and support. This means relating to yourself in a similar way that you do with those you love and care for.
There are two important parts to self-compassion:
1) Being able to notice & tolerate our distress
2) Find wise ways to relieve distress in a helpful way
Self-compassion – like mindfulness – has repeatedly been found to be a powerful approach for dealing with emotional distress, self-criticism & psychological difficulties like low mood and stress.
Research by world leading experts like Paul Gilbert and Kristin Neff has shown that by practising various exercises, this can significantly increase levels of self-compassion.

Dr Chris Irons
Hi, i’m Chris. I’m a clinical psychologist specialising in self-compassion and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). I’ve written a number of self-compassion books, including the Compassionate Mind Workbook and the Compassionate Mind Approach to Difficult Emotions.
In my experience, we don’t tend to treat ourselves with the same kindness & care as we do our friends. In fact, we can be very harsh & critical with ourselves, which can leave us feeling low in self-esteem and struggling with difficult emotions.
In this online self-compassion course i’ve taken 15 years of clinical experience as a therapist & developed a short, engaging, evidence-based course to help you become more caring and supportive of yourself
So if you struggle with self-criticism, feeling not good enough or inadequate, this course can help! Let me show you how self-compassion can bring positive changes to your life

FAQS
How does self-compassion help?
There are now thousands of studies showing that higher levels of self-compassion are associated with many benefits. This includes higher levels of happiness, wellbeing and positivity, as well as lower levels of self-criticism, shame, anxiety and depression. The great thing is that you can increase your self-compassion in lots of different ways – one of which is this course!
Isn't self-compassion weak and self-indulgent?
These are some of the most common myths about self-compassion. The research on this has actually found the opposite – the more compassionate you are with yourself, the more likely you are to deal with difficult things in life, and take responsibility for your mistakes& failures
I don't deserve self-compassion
Although this is understandable, the key thing about self-compassion isn’t about whether you deserve it, but that you need it. We will spend many, many hours with friends and family in life, but no where near as long as we spend in relationship with ourselves – so the important thing is to learn how to treat ourselves with the same care and compassion we treat our friends and loved ones
Is this similar to Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)?
Yes, it is similar in some ways, but with some differences too. This course is based on ideas from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Compassionate Mind Training (CMT), both of which have lots of scientific evidence to support their effectiveness.
And most importantly, this course has been shown to significantly increase self-compassion and reduce psychological distress
