Understanding Self-Compassion with Pamela O’Hara

The workshop starts with a recognisable experience: being harder on yourself than on others. Its focus on understanding that pattern gives the discussion a concrete point of entry.

It can be easier to offer kindness to someone else than to yourself. In this online workshop, cognitive behavioural therapist Pamela O’Hara explores how the inner critic develops and introduces self-compassion as another way of responding. The focus is on understanding familiar patterns of self-talk through psychology.

Hear Pamela discuss how early experiences, belonging and survival can shape self-criticism. She will examine the difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence, and introduce practical approaches to working with difficult emotions. A Q&A follows the presentation.
