Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo Connecting Self-Compassion and Mindfulness, with Chris Germer
Mindfulness and self-compassion go hand in hand. Each enhances the other. As practitioners and as teachers, however, understanding the differences between the two can help us discern when and how to most skillfully apply each for growth and healing.
In this episode, we hear from Chris Germer, one of the world’s foremost experts on mindful self-compassion. Chris Germer, PhD is a clinical psychologist and lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He co-developed the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program with Kristin Neff in 2010. MSC has since been taught to over 250,000 people worldwide. Dr. Germer is author of The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion and co-author of Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program.
