Self-compassion is a buzz-word. And while most of us know that we are 'supposed' to love the idea of self-compassion, many of us secretly worry that self-compassion will make us arrogant, weak, or self-indulgent. In this video we will look at the most common fears people have around self-compassion, and go over what Kristin Neff's research has shown in relation to each. The bottom-line is that self-compassion is purely positive, and comes with absolutely no down-sides. It fosters our resilience, our capacity to take responsibility, and the depth of our relationships. Self-compassion helps us be a better, not to mention happier, person.
