Self-Compassion: The First Step to Healing

Have you noticed how kind and caring you are to your friends and relatives when they are suffering? Do you give yourself the same level of compassion when you are in pain? This presentation will help you recognize your own suffering and compassionately embrace it to become more whole.

Facilitated by Nellie Grose, MD, MPH; Holistic functional medicine practitioner at the Center for Health & Healing, www.tchh.net

Communicating Compassion in Family Relationships

Why is it that the person we are most likely to berate is the person we are closest to?  How does the potential for powerful love coexist with the potential for extreme anger?  Perhaps more importantly, how can we change our disconnecting patterns to more connecting ways to communicate?

Kelly Penrod, LCDC, and Michael Winters, PhD are a married couple and mental health professionals who use Compassionate Communication in their own relationship and in their work with individuals, couples and families.  You can find more information about Kelly at kellypenrod.com and Michael at DrMWinters.com
