Emotional self-care is essential at any age, and it is especially important as we get older. There are many benefits to be gained from being our own best friend, and yet so many people are their own worst enemy – they put themselves down and undermine their own confidence. This presentation, by clinical psychologist Dr. Neil Frude, will introduce simple yet powerful psychological techniques for enhancing self-appreciation and self-compassion. Realistic self-evaluation can help everyone to recognise their positive aspects and their personal strengths, and this can then increase their wellbeing and their quality of life. People sometimes think it’s selfish to pay attention to their positive qualities, but the evidence shows that being your own best friend will also help you to be a good friend to the people around you. |
