Kristin Neff Ph.D. is widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on self-compassion, being the first one to operationally define and measure the construct over a decade ago.

In addition to her pioneering research into self-compassion, she has developed an eight-week program to teach self-compassion skills in daily life, co-created with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, called Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). 

Kristin Neff

A Six-Session Training Course for Transforming Your Relationship with Yourself

Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about—yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? 

"Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves." 

With Self-Compassion Step by Step, this groundbreaking researcher reveals the clinically proven power of self-kindness, with practical training for cultivating an enduring and unshakable sense of your fundamental human worthiness.

Self-Compassion: The Mainstay of Happiness and Well-Being

Over the past decade, an overwhelming body of research has shown self-compassion to be a master key to good psychological and physical health. 

Whether you wish to reduce stress, develop healthy habits for exercise or diet, unlock your creativity, or even deal with serious conditions such as depression or addiction, a strong sense of self-compassion is an essential ingredient for success. 

Best of all, self-compassion is a skill that can be learned. Through six sessions of teaching, Dr. Neff offers guided meditations, experiential practices, and on-the-spot techniques to help you build a strong foundation of self-compassion in your daily life.

"We often become our own worst critic because we believe it's necessary to keep ourselves motivated," says Dr. Neff, "but in fact the research shows that healthy self-compassion increases our inner drive, our resilience to setbacks, and our ability to excel at work and in every aspect of life." 

With Self-Compassion Step by Step, she presents a powerful training course that is both accessible and profoundly transformative—a practical approach for creating a life of greater happiness, fulfillment, and love.

Highlights:

• Self-kindness - how actively comforting ourselves activates our physiological systems designed for soothing and safety

• Common humanity-recognizing the imperfect nature of the shared human experience

• Mindfulness - meeting our moments of suffering with balanced awareness rather than ignoring or exaggerating our pain

• Why we resist self-compassion - debunking the common myths

• The clinically-proven benefits of self-compassion in numerous aspects of life

• The essential difference between competitive self-esteem and true self-compassion

• The natural progression of self-compassion practice

• Guided techniques that use visualization, touch, language, and awareness to evoke states of self-compassion, and much more

Self-Compassion Step by Step

In Basic Mindfulness Meditation Dr. Kristin Neff leads us in a beginner-friendly mindfulness meditation enhanced by the additional element of conscious self-compassion.

Experience an adaptation of traditional lovingkindness meditation tailored for use in the face of particularly challenging emotions and feeling states.

A gentle guided meditation for learning to work with the painful emotions that can arise both during practice and in everyday situations.

We’ve developed lifelong habits of using self-criticism to motivate ourselves. Here is a practice for experiencing the alternative: self-love.

A sense of common humanity is an essential component of self-compassion. This meditation will remind us that we’re all worthy of kindness and love.

Dr. Kristin Neff presents a practice she calls "affectionate breathing"—a beginner-friendly breathing meditation infused with the energy of self-compassion.

Compassionate Body Scan is a step-by-step guided body scan for learning to bring compassion to pain or uncomfortable feelings that arise in our experience.

The Self-Compassion Break is a tool that can be used in daily life whenever you experience an emotionally difficult situation. 

Using soothing touch and self-compassion it opens to the reality of the situation and a doorway to give yourself what you need in that moment.

Here Dr. Kristin Neff guides you in a meditation to evoke your inner feelings of lovingkindness and compassion through wishing for your own wellbeing and comfort.

In this meditation Dr. Kristin Neff helps us to find balance when we are caring for someone as well as feeling compassion for ourselves when we are present for the pain of others.

In Working with Anger Dr. Kristin Neff invites us to explore the softer feelings that lie underneath the harder feeling anger in order to work compassionately with them. 

In this exercise Dr. Kristin Neff guides you in exploring the hurt that we have experienced with compassion and lovingkindness so that we can open up to the opportunity to forgive.

In this exercise Dr. Kristin Neff invites us to work in a compassionate way to forgive ourselves for the hurt we may have caused other persons.

In Giving Compassion to Ourselves Dr. Kristin Neff guides us in an exercise to give ourselves compassion for the fact that we are human beings and all the imperfections that comes with it. 

In Compassionate Friend Dr. Kristin Neff guides us to offer ourselves loving and kind attention through evoking the qualities of wisdom, strength, warmth and unconditional acceptance.

In this exercise Dr. Kristin Neff invites you to reflect and savour the qualities that you like about yourself.

In this exercise you are invited to reflect on the deeper lessons that you have learnt from going through difficult challenges and how it may help you in your current situation.

In this open heart meditation you are invited to bring a sense of deep kindness and care to your experience, exploring what is going on in your heart centre.

Shinzen Young became fascinated with Asian culture while a teenager in Los Angeles. Later he enrolled in a PhD program in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. 

Eventually, he went to Asia and did extensive training in each of the three major Buddhist traditions: Vajrayana, Zen and Vipassana. Upon returning to the United States, his academic interests shifted to the burgeoning dialogue between Eastern meditation and Western science. 

Shinzen is known for his innovative “interactive, algorithmic approach” to mindfulness, a system specifically designed for use in pain management, recovery support, and as an adjunct to psychotherapy. 

He leads meditation retreats throughout North America and has helped establish numerous mindfulness centers and programs. He also consults widely on meditation-related research, in both the clinical and the basic science domains. He often says: “My life’s passion lies in exploring what may arise from the cross-fertilization of the best of the East with the best of the West.”
