How can I benefit from this course?
- Do you find it hard to protect yourself against being hurt or otherwise harmed by others? Do you allow others to overstep your boundaries or do you even overstep them yourself?
- Do you find it hard to stand up for yourself when others have treated you unfairly or tried to take advantage of you?
- Do you judge yourself for feeling anger? Or do you find it hard to even feel anger?
- If you answer YES, then training in fierce self-compassion might support your well-being.
How does this work?
Fierce Self-Compassion helps us to deeply respect ourselves. In turn, it enables us to protect ourselves from harm in a non-aggressive way and stand up for ourselves when we are in danger of being hurt, humiliated, oppressed or taken advantage of.
Dafür gilt es einen weisen Umgang mit unserer Wut zu meistern und uns deren Energie zunutze zu machen. Wut, die von Fürsorge motiviert wird, ist eine kraftvolle Manifestation von Mitgefühl. Sie hilft unsere Grenzen und deren Verletzung zu spüren. Wenn wir lernen die Wut in Klarheit und Selbstachtung zu verwandeln, eröffnet sie uns weise Handlungsmöglichkeiten, um uns wirksam zu schützen. Erst wenn wir ausreichend Selbstachtung und Gelassenheit erlangt haben, können wir mit anderen, die uns wohlgesonnen sind, offen in einen Dialog auf Augenhöhe gehen ohne dabei aggressiv, abwertend oder unterwürfig zu werden.
Do you still have doubts? You are not alone.
