with Kimberley Quinlan
As we return back to “the new normal” since COVID-19, it is natural to want to seek safety and hide from the things that scare us. However, it is crucial that we all embrace our discomfort and remember that fear only gets stronger when we resist, avoid or fight it. During this presentation, participants will gain powerful skills and tools to help them lean into their fears and practice self-compassion, instead of self-judgment and self-punishment.
