What is self-love? 

Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and mental wellbeing. Self-love means having a high regard for your own health and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve.

Why is self-love so important?

Self-love means that you accept yourself fully, treat yourself with kindness and respect, and nurture your growth and wellbeing.

Self-love encompasses not only how you treat yourself but also your thoughts and feelings about yourself.

When you love yourself, you have an overall positive view of yourself. This doesn’t mean you feel positive about yourself all the time. That would be unrealistic! For example, I can temporarily feel upset, angry, or disappointed with myself and still love myself.

Self-love is the foundation that allows us to be assertive, set boundaries and create healthy relationships with others, practice self-care, pursue our interests and goals, and feel proud of who we are.

Self-love is one of the corner stones of mental health.

Why this course?

 In my private practice as a Positive Psychologist and Trauma Therapy Practitioner, I have come to understand that a lot of the mental health challenges people face are rooted in a lack of self-love. I have also noticed that my clients’ mental health improves dramatically once they start to practice self-love.

Self-love needs to be learned - for most people it is not something that we acquire naturally in life.

I have therefore created this course so that anybody can learn self-love, whether you are struggling with mental health issues or not.

Self-love is a quintessential life skill that everyone should be taught from an early age. It is the basis for self-esteem and self-confidence and for living a fulfilled life.

Who is this course for?

This course is for absolutely everybody! Learn self-love and then teach it to your kids, your partners, your family, your friends.

Let’s start a lovelution!

Course Content:

Session 1: 25^th September 2022

Removing the Obstacles to Self-love – Limiting beliefs

In the first session, we will identify what your specific limiting beliefs about yourself are that have prevented you from giving yourself the love you deserve. Once these have been identified, we will put in place beliefs that support self-love. Changing limiting beliefs is not as easy as it sounds – I wish - they come from difficult experiences that we have made at one point in our life, often in childhood. To change them, we need to use a specific set of tools from the latest findings in neuroscience, epigenetics and trauma research. So that’s exactly what we’ll do in this session.

Session 2: 23^rd October 2022

Removing the Obstacles to Self-love – Limiting Emotions

There are emotions that prevent us from being able to feel self-love. These can be shame, guilt, anger, fear, to name but a few. In this second session, we will identify what your specific limiting emotions about yourself are that have made it difficult for you to give yourself the love you deserve. Once these have been identified, we will put in place emotions that support self-love. Changing limiting emotions is challenging – very often we identify with our emotions so deeply, that we can’t change them as it feels like giving up a part of ourselves. To change them, we need to first learn how to dis-identify from these limiting emotions and then we need to learn how to put in place emotions that are supportive of self-love. So that’s exactly what we’ll do in this session through the use of a specific set of tools from the latest findings in neuroscience, epigenetics and trauma research.

Session 3: 20th November 2022

Removing the Obstacles to Self-love – Limiting Behaviours

You might have guessed it by now – we do not only have limiting beliefs and limiting emotions that render us unable to love ourselves. In the course of a lifetime we also pick up a whole range of limiting behaviours. In this session, we will identify what your specific limiting behaviours are that have made it difficult for you to give yourself the love you deserve and put in place behaviours that support self-love. As with limiting beliefs and emotions, changing limiting behaviours is tricky; the brain automates everything after a while – like driving a car or riding a bicycle – so we need to consciously go against this auto-pilot. Luckily there is a whole range of tools from the latest findings in neuroscience, epigenetics and trauma research that we can use to help us put into place behaviours conducive to self-love.

Session 4: 11^th December 2022

Putting it all into Practice

You know the saying “practice makes perfect”, or rather, “with nothing comes nothing”. If you want more self-love, you have to work on it. There’s no way around it. I’d love to have a magic wand and make everyone love themselves more – the world would be such a better place – but unfortunately, I don’t have one. So instead, in this session we will establish a strong self-love routine; one that you can use everyday without fail. Our brain learns through repetition, the more you repeat your self-love practice, the more self-love you will have. You will go home with a clear and concise routine that you can practice safely at home.
