Self Compassion Workshop
Improve Resiliency & Mental Fortitude
Resiliency, according to Merriam Webster, is “An ability to recover from or adjust easily to adversity or change.”
Resiliency is not being unaffected by the pain and challenges of this world, but being able to recover or “bounce back.”
It means going through the unavoidable suffering in life, and still maintain a sense of stability in the storm.
It’s a new year. We survived 2025. We are all in need of a little resiliency, aren’t we?
Whether you are currently seeing a Bamboo Provider, or you’d just like a leg up on this coming year, you are invited to join our first Resiliency Workshop, where you will connect with a small group in a warm and welcoming atmosphere to learn and practice real, practical skills to help face life’s challenges with more strength, stability, and grace.

What is the point…
Do you find yourself frustrated and discouraged by that ever-present inner critic?
Would you acknowledge that, yeah, you’re pretty hard on yourself, but you don’t know how to turn off the faucet of negative self-talk?
Or maybe you think the way you talk to yourself is perfectly justified, but you find yourself plagued by anxiety, depression, anger and self-hatred?
What self compassion is not…
Taking it too easy on yourself, and following every internal whim.
The same as self-esteem, or feeling good about myself.
What self compassion is…
Self-compassion is not feeling better about yourself, but relating to yourself kindly when you feel your worst.
Self-compassion is not doing whatever you want, but asking yourself, what do I really need?
Self-compassion is relating to yourself with the same kindness as you would a good friend, or even a neutral acquaintance.
The Self Compassion Workshop
About
If the above resonated with you, or you’re looking for another way to help get out of the spiral you’ve been in for years with the negative self-talk, this workshop could be a great opportunity to help you re-wire and do things differently.
You could be in this workshop in addition to individual therapy. You could be in this workshop and it Is the only form of therapy you’re receiving right now. Both are okay, we’re here to bring you the education, skills, and tools you need to address self compassion in a new light.
This workshop is for women and men, ages 17 and up, who wish to develop a more positive relationship with themselves. Whether you find yourself wrestling with disordered eating patterns, academic stress, perfectionism, or general patterns of critical self-talk, this group is for you. Together with an intentional, supportive community, we will take six weeks to explore the following:
Gain clarity on your patterns of self-talk and factors that contribute to chronic self-criticism.
Understand what self-compassion is, how it's different from self-esteem, and why it's important.
Develop strategies for improving self-compassion and resiliency.
Sarah Nonnenmacher, LPC, CEDS
The group leader
Meet Sarah Nonnenmacher, she will lead a small-group workshop with activities and discussion, based off the work of Kristin Neff and the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. In a unique curriculum created by Sarah, we will pull skills from CBT, ACT, and IFS to help you shift your self-talk from habitual critic to steady, courageous presence.
Sarah has been a therapist for over 8 years and self compassion has always been something she has found clients to struggle with on some degree. Whether or not it feels like the primary problem, she has always found a way to improve client symptoms and expression when she addresses their sense of self compassion. Thus, this group was formed after her years of experience and training in self compassion so she can help others address this problem in hope that it makes it easier to improve mental health in all other areas.
