ABOUT YOUR WORKSHOP LEADER
Dr Kristin Neff is internationally recognized as a pioneering researcher into self-compassion. Over a decade ago
she first identified self-compassion as a measurable trait, and now there are over a thousand published studies on
the benefits of self-compassion.
An associate professor in educational psychology at the University of Texas, Austin, Dr Neff’s research interests centre
on the psychological health benefits of self-compassion. Dr Neff is the author of Self-Compassion: The Proven Power
of Being Kind to Yourself.
With self-compassion, we
give ourselves that same
kindness and care we’d
give to a good friend.
