Wise Friendship: Nurturing Your Inner Ally - Talk with Dr. Diana Hill

What does it mean to be a wise friend to yourself? In this talk, Dr. Diana Hill, author of The Self-Compassion Daily Journal and host of the Wise Effort podcast, draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the kalyana mitta sutta, and personal experience to explore three qualities of wise friendship: compassionate presence, values, and flexibility.
You will learn:

- Two strategies to explore your personal values: what brings you vitality and what brings you pain
- The flexibility practice of asking yourself, “Are you sure?”
- Regrets as a pathway to values
