On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are covering one of their favorite topics: self-compassion. They are thrilled to sit down with Dr. Kristin Neff, the self-compassion pioneer and expert. Dr. Neff was one of the first to research self-compassion about 20 years ago and shares many of her incredible findings with us all today. Dr. Neff defines self-compassion at the start of the episode and explains how culturally and evolutionarily, self-compassion can be challenging to give to ourselves. Ahead of the episode recording, Emmalee and Jen asked their listeners why it's hard to give yourself compassion, and they share some of the answers with Dr. Neff for her to comment on. Dr. Neff shares about barriers to overcome in order to give ourselves self-compassion, why no one has to earn the right to compassion, the #1 block to self-compassion, where to start in giving yourself compassion, self-indulgence vs. self-compassion, and perfectionism as it relates to compassion. She answers some of your questions and also calls some BS about self-compassion making you "weak." Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
