In this workshop, licensed mental health counselor Jill Hamilton Buss will explore how we can focus on increasing self-compassion and decreasing negative self-talk. If we could all conquer these two challenges (especially for women), we’d be far happier and healthier. There is strong research to show that people who are more self-compassionate have greater health, better relationships and are more resilient to life’s stressors. Hamilton Buss will share tips to gain greater self-compassion and ways to identify and change negative self-talk and cognitive distortions that we are often unaware of (“should”, “catastrophizing”, fortune-telling, etc.).

Program Notes: Participants should be prepared for this program with a journal or paper and a pen for note taking.

This program is presented by Jill Hamilton Buss and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
