Your facilitator

In The Mind Heart Center’s words

Join us to read together and connect through honest conversation with our Monthly Book Club, hosted by Brittany McLaren , Licensed Clinical Social Worker and MindSet Practitioner. Book Selection: Fierce Self Compassion: How to Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Your Power, and Thrive, By Dr. Kristen Neff, PhD For October and November, we will be exploring Fierce Self Compassion which demonstrates how we can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and end the silence around harassment and abuse. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce. We must also act courageously in order to protect ourselves from harm and injustice, say no to others so we can meet our own needs, and motivate necessary change in ourselves and society. Antiquated gender roles demand that women be soft and nurturing, not angry or powerful. But like yin and yang, the energies of fierce and tender self-compassion must be balanced for wholeness and wellbeing. In this wise, caring, and enlightening book, Neff shows us how to reclaim balance within themselves, so we can help restore balance in the world. While Fierce Self Compassion has a particular focus on women, the lessons and tools in the book are applicable to all people, regardless of gender, and all gender identities are welcomed and encouraged to learn and grow with us!
