If you ever feel berated, pushed around, down-trouden, guilted, shamed, or run-over, and all by the voices in your mind, then do we have the compassionate, life-changing show for you!

Today I’ll be talking with Dr. Kristin Neff, psychologist, researcher, and pioneer in the field of self-compassion. She’s also the author of “self-compassion the proven power of being kind to yourself” and her family’s amazing healing journey is featured in the award-winning documentary, The Horse Boy, …one of the most powerful and beautiful documentaries I’ve ever seen…just bring plenty of Kleenex!

Today we’ll be talking about self-compassion or true caring, concern and love for you; what it really looks like, what it feels like, why it’s different from self-esteem, and why it’s so incredibly important and needed in our lives (despite what we’ve been taught).

That plus we’ll look a squeegee man, a hugging practice, the lake Wobeggon Effect, and how connecting with horses truly changes lives.

Questions and Topics Include:

  1. How her autistic son taught her self-compassion
  2. Where did the desire to study self-compassion come from?

  6. What’s a freeze response?
  7. Why we treat our good friends different than we treat ourselves?
  8. Why it’s easier to trigger the care-giver system with our good friends
  9. What happens with children of very critical or even abusive parents
  10. What Kristin Neff is finding in over 10 years of studying self-compassion
  11. How we have self-compassion backwards (and how it makes us stronger, rather than weaker)
  12. Why the rod and stick (spare the rod, spoil the child) is backwards and leads to self-criticism and undermining self-confidence
  13. What’s the difference between self-compassion and self-esteem
  14. What’s wrong with self-esteem and what’s the backlash from promoting self-esteem?
  15. Why self-compassion doesn’t seem to have the negative side-effects that self-esteem does
  16. Why we’re more likely to take responsibility because it’s safe to do so.
  17. How self-compassion gives you the emotional resources to be at our best
  18. What is self-kindness?
  19. What are the three main triggers of the compassion mechanism?
  20. What’s the hugging exercise?
  21. Why you want to touch yourself or put a hand on yourself to help calm you down and put you in a place of self-compassion (yes, this is touchy-feely)
  22. Language you can use for yourself to train your brain for self-compassion
  23. Why tones are so important and often more important than the language itself
  24. What is common humanity and why is it so important
  25. What differentiates self-compassion from self-pity?
