Understanding Self-Compassion

Self-compassion, defined by Dr. Kristen Neff, involves treating oneself with kindness and understanding during times of suffering or failure, recognizing that these experiences are part of the shared human experience. It means acknowledging pain and offering comfort and care to oneself instead of criticizing and judging.
