It's time to focus on something that is really overlooked in our field and  that we should be talking more about: it could be the single most important skill that you can develop to not only survive- but thrive!- in your career as a school counselor. Can you guess what it might be?

Self-compassion may seem like kind of a silly thing to be talking about when we think about all of the really big, important, stressful things going on in our school counseling worlds, but research shows us that self-compassion  is vital if you want to endure in this career for any amount of time.

Jump in to see if you REALLY know what self-compassion is, how to exercise it when you work in an environment where you feel like you're being judged EVERY SINGLE DAY or where you don't have a moment's peace, and how to cultivate your capacity for self-compassion.

We round things out with a bonus exercise in self-compassion that may completely change the way you see your work- for the better!
