Description

Research shows that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience. It’s key to mental, emotional and physical well-being, and has been shown to increase motivation and productivity. It’s a superpower, says Dr. Kristin Neff, hidden in our own back pocket that we don’t even realize is there.


In this talk Dr. Neff explains the theory behind cultivating self-compassion and presents research establishing it’s benefits. She will focus on the crucial role that self-compassion plays for caregiving professionals to prevent burnout. An empirically-supported practice will be taught that can help individuals maintain balance in difficult situations involving caring for others.

Kristin Neff, PhD.

Our society teaches us that self-compassion is the enemy of productivity; that to be kind to ourselves is to invite complacency. But in fact, the opposite is true, says Dr. KRISTIN NEFF. A pioneer in the field of inner strength training and self-compassion, Dr. Neff conducted the first empirical studies on self-compassion more than twenty years ago and has been recognized as one of the most influential researchers in psychology worldwide. In her bestseller Self-Compassion, she shares simple and actionable guides proven to increase motivation, boost resilience, and improve mental health. “We have this superpower in our backpocket, we just don’t know it’s there.” says Dr. Neff. “Self-compassion makes us stronger, more motivated, and less self-indulgent.” When burnout is threatening the happiness, success, and productivity of us all, she shows us why we need self-compassion more than ever.
