Self-Compassion for Educators is a 3-hour, evidence- and skills-based training designed for educators to dive into the research, practice, and experience of self-compassion; enhance their personal well-being; and revitalize their deep motivation for helping others. Our brains are wired for survival and have a natural tendency, or negativity bias, to focus on and be motivated by negative thought patterns like criticism, pain, and danger. This self-compassion training helps educators understand and transform these habitual responses and develop the ability to motivate with compassion rather than self-criticism. The science shows that self-compassion has a significant positive impact on educator wellbeing, resilience, and stress management. Practicing self-compassion involves taking action and making positive changes in our lives. Through this process, we see educators reconnecting with their deep motivation and excitement for helping others.
