Why Self-Compassion Is Hard
- We struggle with self-compassion due to cultural and evolutionary reasons.
- We're taught to prioritize others, and our threat-defense system prioritizes self-criticism over self-kindness.

- Self-compassion increases motivation to apologize and repair harm, unlike shame.
