“ I have done therapy on and off over the years, but what Resilience Psychotherapy offers is refreshingly different and so highly effective. Having a therapist and also being able to participate in the groups helps you be able to gain valuable insight about yourself, and then use that insight to develop the tools that are most necessary for your personal growth. I am so grateful to the team and Resilience Psychotherapy!”

I was lucky enough to be able to take the Mindful Self-Compassion course through Resilience Psychotherapy this past autumn. I can honestly say that this course changed my life. Dr. Nijjar and her skilled team hold a uniquely balanced, safe and open space for people to dig in and be introspective with their challenges — while also providing a range of accessible, easy to use tools that really work on cultivating deep self-compassion. I use the techniques on the daily and my life is better for it. Highly recommended to anyone, at any point on their healing journey.

“My partner and I have been seeing our therapist at Resilience Psychotherapy for more than a year now. She has improved our relationship significantly, helped us to better understand each other’s needs, communicate more effectively, and grow as individuals. Stefanie helped us to see each other and the relationship more objectively. I never got the sense that she was trying to direct our relationship to a particular outcome; instead, she created a safe space to express ourselves and helped us interact constructively to feel understood … and that ultimately led to a better relationship.” -G.W., 34

“I had weekly therapy sessions with Rami for a period of about eight months and attended her MSC group, all of which were an important and positive part of my healing process. Over the course of my work with Rami, she helped me unpack tangled up challenges that had left me overwhelmed, and put difficult things that I had previously been unable to vocalize to words. The atmosphere was always encouraging and by the end of our sessions my life was moving forward again.” - S.T., 36

“Rami is one of the most deeply non-judgemental, hopeful, and perceptive people on the planet. Her method is one of expansive listening and thoughtful reflection. She consistently sees the good in other people. She is wise beyond her years and generous beyond belief. She has helped me immensely, and I would recommend her to anyone.” - M.W., 38

“Taking the MSC course with Rami was a grounding and nourishing experience. As someone who is quite focused on self-development, I realized my practice was missing the ease and warmth of these self-compassionate practices. Rami is an well-equipped and soothing guide through the course. Because of her approach and willingness to answer questions, I felt safe and curious throughout the work, rather than insecure or judged. I highly recommend this course to everyone, as I still incorporate the MSC practices quite naturally and effortlessly.” - S.T., 26

“Each participant brings their own culture, thoughts and experiences with them and so what I get from this isn’t the same as the next person. That said, we each find common agreement and understanding of self compassion. Discovering that compassion and empathy are neither blessings nor curses: they are just part of what makes us people. Learning to embrace self compassion, keep it safe and share it makes it possible to identify what’s important, and what we can change so as not to get overcome by what isn’t important or things we can’t change.” -Simon L.

“As I stick with MSC, I'm peeling back more and more layers of shame that used to be so connected to me that I thought they were a part of me. It's been a mixture of liberating, terrifying, frustrating sometimes, with moments of peace mixed in.” -K

“If I could describe this course in 3 words I would say: relieving, effective, revolutionary. It seems everywhere I go I am bombarded with messages that I should be more or different that I am, and that I should have perfect self-worth despite all these messages. We are constantly told to love ourselves, while being fed messages that say we are unworthy. The MSC course unravelled this mess for me, and taught me how to truly care for myself amidst an imperfect world.

Until this group, mindfulness never really worked for me. I would still feel stuck in my head and overwhelmed with what came up when I sat still and turned inward. But I now see how Self-Compassion was the missing piece. I can tell you that self-compassion training actually works: it helps you turn within and feel safe doing so. It also feels less like 'work' and more like a long deep sigh.”- S

“I can't recommend this course enough! It really helped shift my mindset and set me free in many ways. Here I am a couple months later still gaining the benefits from the lessons as they compound over time. Basically if you are stuck in a negative feedback loop, and want to find some escape, I recommend going down the path of mindfulness coupled with self compassion. Stefanie and Jennifer are such kind gracious teachers that cultivate a beautiful calming safe space that was something I looked forward to every Sunday. I wish this course upon everyone!” -C.C.

"The once a week meeting for two hours brought me stability for the rest of the week. Listening to others with similar or even different experiences helped me realize many other ways I was lacking mindful self-compassion. Even though we didn't have one on one conversations with each other in the group, I felt like we all bonded and became like a family." -D.Y.

“I attended Rami's Mindfulness Self-Compassion group at a transition point in my life and career. I'd gone to personal therapy sessions with Rami, and I found her to be calm, gentle, and non-judgmental, as well as incredibly knowledgeable and professional as a psychologist. When I heard she would be facilitating this course I signed up right away. I've learned to allow space to live with open curiosity, compassion, and acceptance of myself and others. Practicing non-judgement and self-love, even if I'm not my 'ideal' self, is a revolutionary act, especially as a woman. This course made me realize that while life can be difficult, compassion and love for yourself and others is always possible. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.” - Sasha, 28

“I took the MSC course with Rami in the winter and was amazed by the quality of the teaching. Her presence, wisdom, and kindness really stuck out to me and I find the course to be eye-opening, I recommend it to anyone.” - A.T., 32

“Rami Nijjar is a compassionate listener. Her compassion is reflected in all her thoughts and actions. Her approach is distinctive in that it is wise, intuitive and spiritual. Rami offered her unique support to me while I was overcoming depression. She is a deeply devoted professional and I would recommend her to my nearest and dearest.” - F.C., 34

“I had seen psychologists on a couple of occasions before, but both times left me feeling apathetic. I thought they were helpful but no more helpful than a chat with friends, so probably not worth the cost. Rami was totally different. I could tell she took her profession seriously, offering evidence-based guidance, but always in an approachable, friendly way. I never felt judged and she was great at ‘bringing me down to earth'. Her sessions have helped me feel more emotionally stable and resilient, but they never felt sterile and clinical, which can sometimes be the case with therapy. They provided value far above the cost. Thanks Rami!” - Graham, Burnaby
