Understanding our inner critic and exploring the science of self-compassion
featuring special guest Scarlette Yuen,
The Counselling Collab SG
Wellbeing from Within…from the comfort of your home
As part of OASIS Outreach—a global conscious community founded by Gabrielle Mendoza to support wellbeing from within—this session brings together psychology, mindfulness, and embodied healing.
In the first half of the evening, Scarlette Yuen, Registered Counsellor at The Counselling Collab SG and a Restorative Yoga teacher trained by Gabrielle Mendoza, will explore why many of us are far kinder to others than we are to ourselves.
Together, we'll examine the inner critic—that familiar voice that highlights our mistakes, questions our worth, or tells us we're not enough. While it often develops as a way of protecting us from failure, rejection, or disappointment, it can also distance us from self-acceptance and inner peace.
Drawing on psychology, counselling, and current research, Scarlette will share how responding with curiosity and self-compassion, rather than self-judgement, can foster greater resilience, support nervous system regulation, and transform the way we relate to ourselves.
Key Points
Understand what the inner critic is and why it develops
Discover the impact of self-criticism and the science behind self-compassion
Explore how to recognise your inner critic and respond with greater curiosity and compassion
Reflect on practical ways to cultivate greater self-kindness in everyday life
Experience a restorative practice to foster self-compassion, acceptance and inner calm
The second half of the session will be a Restorative Yoga practice led by Gabrielle Mendoza, offering the body a gentle way to embody these insights and begin cultivating a kinder relationship with yourself in the comfort of your own home. Using supported postures, breath, and deep rest, participants will be guided into stillness — where the nervous system can recalibrate, and connection can be felt, not just understood.
Together, this OASIS Outreach session offers a holistic experience — blending science, self-inquiry, mindfulness and somatic restoration to remind us that healing begins with within.

As part of OASIS Outreach — a global conscious community created by Gabrielle Mendoza to support wellbeing from within — this session bridges the worlds of psychology, mindfulness, and embodied healing.
In the first half of the evening, Scarlette Yuen, registered counsellor from The Counselling Collab SG who trained in Restorative Yoga under Gabrielle Mendoza, will guide a grounded exploration into emotions and the nervous system through a trauma-informed lens. Drawing on her background in Psychology and Counselling, Scarlette will unpack how emotions are processed through the brain, body, and nervous system — and why emotions are not problems to fix, but important messengers carrying information about our inner world.
The session will explore the difference between primary and secondary emotions, and how protective emotional responses can sometimes mask deeper feelings, unmet needs, and relational wounds beneath the surface. Participants will also learn how emotional awareness, language, empathy, and validation can support nervous system safety, regulation, and deeper connection with ourselves and others.
The evening will conclude with a gentle restorative practice and reflection, offering space to meet emotions with greater curiosity, compassion, and care rather than overwhelm or avoidance.

CREATING CONTAINMENT AND SAFETY
The gentle embrace of a strap around the body signals the nervous system that it’s safe to relax. When the limbs are held in place, the body no longer feels the need to “hold itself up.” This containment helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging deep rest and stillness.

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN EFFORT AND EASE
Transform your practice from one of doing into one of allowing. Bolsters, blankets, blocks, straps, and cushions are not just accessories — they are sacred tools that invite the body, mind, and nervous system into profound rest. When you are fully supported, effort melts away, and what remains is pure presence — the quiet space where restoration naturally unfolds.

ADDING SOFTNESS AND SUPPORT
Folded blankets can cushion the joints, support the neck, or fill the natural curves of the body. Under the knees, they ease the lower back; under the head, they create alignment and comfort. Used thoughtfully, blankets remove the need for muscular effort, allowing complete surrender to gravity.

FOUNDATIONS OF SUPPORT
Blocks act as extensions of the earth, bridging the space between your body and the ground to create ease and alignment. Their height and angle can be adjusted to transform strain into deep comfort. With mindful placement, even small shifts in support can bring profound shifts in how we feel.

PRACTICE WITH PRIVACY
Privacy in your home practice is more than closing a door — it’s the intentional act of creating sacred space for stillness, safety, and presence. In this uninterrupted quiet, the awareness gently turns inward. The mind begins to settle, and the body remembers what ease feels like. Here, practice becomes intimate — a living dialogue between breath, body, and being.

SET THE MOOD
Soften the lights or light a candle. Play gentle music or ambient sound — or simply let silence hold you. You might add a few drops of essential oil to deepen your sense of grounding. Set boundaries with your environment: silence notifications, dim the lights, and let those you live with know you’ll be practising.
