\n\t\tMSC teaches simple effective skills and develops emotional strength to meet life’s challenges with kindness, care and understanding instead of blaming, shaming or criticizing ourselves.<\/b> MSC is based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff, Ph.D. and clinical expertise of Christopher Germer, Ph.D through the University of California San Diego<\/b>.<\/b><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSelf-Compassion can be learned by anyone, even those who didn’t receive enough affection in childhood or who feel uncomfortable when they are good to themselves. It’s easier than you think!<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n
