❋ Self-compassion
Self-compassion is treating ourselves with warmth and kindness. Kristen Neff and Chris Germer are two pioneering researchers in self-compassion who defined it as having three components: mindfulness, self-compassion, and common humanity. Find the self-compassion rating scale here.
❋ Nervous system science
Anxiety involves an exaggerated fear response and a heightened state of activation. Learning about anxiety with a nervous system lens can allow for growth when we learn the tools of awareness and ways to down-regulate our nervous system.
❋ Communication
Our words are only one part of how we communicate our thoughts and feelings. In this pillar, we will examine ways to cue safety through words and non-verbal methods of communication.
❋ Resilience
Anxiety involves facing our fears and building resilience. In this pillar, we focus on expanding capacity to stay regulated. Contrary to common assumption, resilience is not a genetic trait. It can be cultivated and learned.
