Do you feel like you're on your own side? Are you able to speak to yourself with kindness? Or stick up for yourself in front of others?
That, my friend, is self-compassion and it can be incredibly hard to do.
Dr Em says, "compassion" in Latin translates to “with suffering.” And SELF-compassion is how we relate, reflect and react when our self is suffering.
In this episode, Dr Em talks about why cultivating a self-compassionate voice is SO DIFFICULT, but how it's also pivotal in getting us through our darkest moments.
And we chat through whether self-compassion needs a re-brand? (Hugh's gunning for self-chop-out, but we're still taking recommendations?)
