46: Best of Is Too Much Self-Compassion a Bad Thing? with Dr. Lesley Cook

Struggle Care

CHAPTER

Compassion, Permission, and Accountability

This chapter explores the duality of compassion and accountability, emphasizing the importance of separating our compassion from endorsing or excusing harmful actions. The speakers discuss struggles with self-compassion and the difficulty of empathizing with others who are struggling. They also touch upon the concern that allowing self-compassion might give permission to individuals who commit evil acts, but they argue that those individuals do not need permission and are not deterred by shame.
