Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)

Learn to be less self-critical and treat yourself with kindness

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. MSC is an empirically-supported 8-week program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion, co-developed by Dr. Christopher Germer, a CMC senior advisor. We welcome you to explore Mindful Self-Compassion tools and resources, including guided meditation and a course overview, through the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion (CMSC) website. For the first time, we will bring together two scientifically validated trainings in one 8-week program so you can start the year getting more benefits from our Programs.

Participant Testimonials

Why Mindful Self-Compassion?

- Learn the science and components of self-compassion
- Practice self-compassion to live in alignment with your values
- Gain tools to manage difficult emotions with greater ease
- Build emotional strength for dealing with daily stresses
