Ep42 Finding your Self-Compassion
What does it mean to have Self-Compassion, why is it important? How can we practice self-compassion and what is the impact of this on how we interact and engage with family, friends and colleagues? We look at the research from the most prolific self-compassion author Dr Kristin Neff and her look at Fierce and Tender Self-Compassion and the role of each for helping us to extend compassion and understanding towards oneself in times of suffering or perceived failure, rather than harsh self-criticism or judgment. Why are some people self-critical or prone to self-pity, and how can we help them to move towards having more constructive, kind, yet challenging self-talk?
