Reviews of Dr. Dell's Courses

“I loved the session with Dr. Adam Dell on self-compassion. I feel much better equipped to work with others who do not display a love for themselves and when I struggle with my own negative self-talk. ”

“Adam Dell's session on self-compassion was very moving. he talked about how having self compassion isn't selfish because its taking on a non-judgmental posture towards one's own inadequacies. This is a precursor to mindfulness, which is something I practice in my own therapy sessions. He also framed a great question, "If your young self could look into the future at you, what would you want them to see?" ”

“I think one of the most powerful take away moments was the piece Adam Dell shared on 'hesed'--unconditional kindness and love. Remembering we need to do the best we can to be hesed for our children and the people around us but trusting God to be all that we cannot be.”
