In response to feedback requesting more time to address the topics covered in last year’s clinic series focusing on confidence and self-esteem, this full-day workshop is an opportunity to explore these issues in more detail (participation in past sessions is not required). Through discussions and interactive exercises to help define, develop and maintain healthy self-image, participants will examine core beliefs and tools to shift attitudes and perceptions. Emphasis will be placed on:
- Developing self awareness
- Quieting the inner critic
- Assessing events and emotions
