“Did I sound stupid?” “Should I have sent that email?” “How do I look?” Why do we, and our clients, spend so much time feeling self-conscious and comparing ourselves to others? Why do we struggle to live up to inner ideals or outer standards, only to regularly feel not good enough and either ashamed of our shortcomings or stressed-out trying to keep our self-esteem afloat? The assumption that we can find lasting happiness by being more successful, likable, attractive, intelligent, or morally above reproach is so woven into our biology and culture that few of us notice it’s not actually true. Sure, having success or otherwise getting to think highly of ourselves feels good—but it's not a permanent feeling. In this workshop, we’ll zero in on how we and our clients can begin to step off the self-evaluation roller coaster. We’ll explore:
Identifying the universality of social comparison and its evolutionary roots
Mindfulness as a tool to shift perspective
Identifying the difference between self-compassion and self-esteem
Cultivating the benefits of transpersonal awareness as an antidote to self-preoccupation
