Self-Worth Group

---

 Join Victoria for a warm and supportive group therapy experience designed to help you explore your self-worth through the transformative lens of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). Over six weeks, you’ll connect with others, learn practical tools to silence your inner critic, and develop a deeper sense of self-worth rooted in compassion and authenticity.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a gentle yet powerful approach that combines the practices of mindfulness and self-compassion to help us treat ourselves with the same kindness we offer to a close friend. Developed by psychologists Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer, MSC is rooted in research and draws from both modern psychology and ancient wisdom. At its core, MSC helps us notice when we’re struggling, connect with the shared human experience of imperfection, and respond to ourselves with warmth rather than harsh self-criticism. It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about learning to embrace yourself, just as you are, with all your strengths and challenges.

Think about the last time you made a mistake. Did you say something like, “How could I be so stupid?” or, “I always mess things up!” Now imagine if, instead, you said, “This is hard. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I can handle this.” How might that shift your experience? MSC helps you replace self-critical thoughts with compassionate ones, quieting the inner critic that undermines self-worth.

It also helps you:

• Recover more quickly from setbacks.

• Feel less alone in your struggles.

• Build resilience to face life’s challenges with greater ease.
