Cultivating Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff
Mar 3 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Are you ready to transform 2022 into a year of kindness rather than criticism?

Join The Colorado Community Collaborative for Eating Disorders and Kristin Neff for an uplifting event dedicated to cultivating self-compassion.

Drawing on a wealth of research, her personal life story and empirically supported practices, Dr. Neff will discuss how individuals can harness self-compassion and gain the strength, clarity and courage to be resilient, work through difficult emotions, and establish boundaries. By digging into the three elements of self-compassion (Self-Kindness, Common Humanity, and Mindfulness) this event will provide essential tools for treating yourself in a kind, compassionate way whenever you suffer, fail, or feel inadequate.

Biography

Kristin Neff Ph.D. received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, and is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.

During Kristin’s last year of graduate school she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation in the Insight Meditation tradition ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion – a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically. Kristin is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, creating a scale to measure the construct almost 20 years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, and in June 2021 she will be releasing her new book Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive.

In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook as well as Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. She is also co-founder of the nonprofit Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.
