Becoming A Safe Space For Self
With Nikki HeyderSo many of us hold shame around the very normal experience of being human - especially our emotional experience. We judge and criticize ourselves when we are anything less than 'happy'. We often fear, avoid or suppress our big or difficult emotions when they arise - only to have to deal with the repercussions of this avoidance in our day to day symptoms, stress levels, and relationships. But what if I told you that there was another way to meet yourself? That there is a very good reason as to why we fear our emotional landscape but that with time and practice and self compassion, we can learn how to be the safe space we always needed and in turn process our emotional ups and downs with kindness, acceptance and ease. This short course will guide you through a series of lessons designed to empower you with the knowledge and understanding of why we hold so much shame towards ourselves, provide you with a deeper understanding of why compassion is the antidote to self criticism, and teach you a very useful technique/practice for learning how to meet your emotions with less resistance. Ultimately with time, consistency, and persistency, you will feel a shift in how you perceive yourself and your emotions. It will give you a greater sense of inner peace which will ripple out to positively affect your relationships, concentration levels, quality of sleep, and overall well-being.
Learn how to meet your big and difficult emotions with acceptance and compassion.
