3 part course with bestselling author Dr David Hamilton
Description: 

Throughout these three sessions, you’ll learn about what self love is and how a lack of it can affect your life. You’ll also learn about the 3 stages of self love and how to move through them and some highly effective practical strategies for helping you to feel better on the inside and for creating a more positive vision of yourself.

You will gain an understanding of how your mind affects the body and how your body affects your mind, and how to use this dual understanding to quickly help you to feel different on the inside. 

You will also learn about the power of vulnerability, a strategy for dealing with feelings of shame, how to change your perception of your body image, and even how to drop self-judgement and self-criticism and replace them with self compassion, self acceptance, and a more positive mental image of yourself. 

You will finish the sessions with a more positive sense of yourself and a clear pathway for building on this in the future.
