YRMC Healthy Conversations – Welcome Self-Compassion into Your Life
Into each life some rain must fall.
These words are more than song lyrics or a familiar expression to Cheryl Van Demark, PT, C-IAYT, Physical Therapist and Yoga Therapist at Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC). They’re part of a self-compassion practice Van Demark teaches in the YRMC Self-Care Program for Chronic Pain called RAIN”Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nurture. RAIN is from the work of psychotherapist Tara Brach, PhD.
Sprinkle Some RAIN into Your World
During Practicing Self-Compassion, a YRMC Healthy Conversations presentation, Van Demark teaches you how to practice RAIN and introduces you to the benefits of self-compassion.
RAIN is a template for a self-compassion practice that can either be brief or lengthy, according to your individual needs, she explained.
