“The content I learned from [her] class has been a major factor in changing the way that I think and speak to myself. It's transformed my life and overall perspective. I used to think that being hard on myself was the best way to get things done and accomplish my goals. I've found that being kind to myself, and doing things out of love and care for myself has been much more sustainable and honestly more effective! I'm no longer thinking  "if I don't do this, I'm a failure and loser" (so mean, right?) but rather changing my thoughts to "I'm doing this because I want the best for myself, and to see myself grow positively and thrive." This has translated to not only being less judgemental towards myself, but also others- and in turn makes me more positive and understanding of humanity.”

"This class made me feel safe and accepted. I have never felt more safe in a different class. I was not scared to share with the class because Dr. Knox always replies with kindness. I liked how Dr. Knox was very inclusive in her language when discussing mindfulness."

-Past Student

"My experience in Dr. Knox’s class was something I was searching for within undergrad. Dr. Knox’s class provided me with skills that have set me up with a good strategy for potentially overwhelming experiences I may have within myself and relationships in my life. Learning about having compassion for others but also compassion for yourself was just what I needed as I go into post grad life. I really loved learning about how the brain reacts during mindfulness and compassion exercises, this really does work! I’m very glad I was able to take this class because it wasn't a regurgitation of information on a test, it was something you had to experience and practice."
