About this workshop

When times are difficult, it can be hard to know how to cope. At these times, human beings often default to long-established, automatic ways of coping. These are our best efforts to manage what life has brought to our door, and they often have unintended consequences for us. In this author talk, clinical psychologist and CFT practitioners and trainer, will discuss how her book helps readers to integrate the wisdom and practice of compassion in their daily lives.

This webinar is for you if you’ve ever found yourself feeling lost or overwhelmed despite trying as hard as you can. It is rooted in an approach that aims to help us understand why so much of what causes us to suffer is not our fault and helps us find new, more supportive ways to respond. Katie will show how her simple, small book is designed to guide you, a little bit at a time, toward a more compassionate relationship with yourself and the world.
