Coming Home to Yourself: Self-Compassion and Developing a Kinder Relationship with Yourself

A workshop with Yani Mitra

Date: Sunday, June 28th, 10-11 PST

Investment: $20 per person

Have you ever noticed an inner voice that is quick to criticize, compare, or tell you that you're not doing enough? Many of us spend so much time striving, achieving, and caring for others that we rarely pause to consider how we speak to ourselves.

This workshop offers a supportive space to explore self-compassion, understand the roots of self-criticism, and develop a kinder relationship with yourself.

Drawing on principles from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), mindfulness, and reflective practices, we will explore why self-criticism often develops, how it can affect our wellbeing, and practical ways to respond to ourselves with greater understanding and compassion.

Through guided reflection, discussion, grounding exercises, and experiential activities, participants will be introduced to the three emotional regulation systems used in CFT, explore the role of the inner critic, and begin cultivating their own compassionate inner voice.

This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in improving their relationship with themselves, managing perfectionism or self-doubt, and learning practical tools for greater self-compassion and emotional wellbeing.

About your facilitator:

Yani Mitra is a mental health practitioner, facilitator, and incoming Clinical Psychology Doctoral trainee. She has experience working across specialist mental health and clinical research settings in both the UK and the United States, supporting individuals experiencing a range of emotional and psychological challenges.

Her interests lie in self-compassion, identity, relationships, and understanding the deeper stories that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Drawing from psychodynamic, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-informed perspectives, Yani is particularly interested in helping people explore patterns of self-criticism, shame, and emotional wellbeing with curiosity and compassion.

She is passionate about creating spaces where psychology feels less like something to learn and more like something to experience, inviting people into deeper self-understanding, self-compassion, and connection. Her approach is grounded in curiosity, inclusivity, and an appreciation for the diverse experiences, identities, and stories that shape how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
