One of the best presentations from the training! It seems that both of you are not only knowledgeable about both PAP and Self-Compassion, but also your sweet demeanor makes it obvious that you embody compassion in real life as authentic therapists should. Meaningful inspiration for me. Muchas Gracias Jorge and Susie!

Very sweet, weĺl- studied, yet i wish more attention, insight and integrative commentary had been given to PAP

Susie and Jorge, what a beautiful way to become a compassionate therpaist. Thank YOU to both of you for taking me indepth of realising my body and innate self needed self compassion and not comparison. Love you both!!!

Wonderful presenters. Love their clarity and calmness.

looking for content, not resumes

Wonderful presentation, filled in details of Self Compassion in treatment that were missing in the other presentations, e.g., the guided meditations and the details about how and why they work. I am an AIT practitioner and Buddhist practitioner, material in your work is familiar (we prob have some of the same teachers) but the applied art precision is very welcome and supportive in my work with myself and clients (in that order :-)). So much gratitude our teachers’ work has spread far and wide. Through this merit may all benefit, indeed.

One more thing, the sound quality from Jorge’s computer was not ideal, it was a bit tinny and lacked depth…probably could have used something soft to absorb sound in the room, or a separate microphone. So it was hard to listen comfortably.
