How to Quiet Your Inner Critic with Dr. Kristin Neff

We Can Do Hard Things

NOTE

Embrace Both Tenderness and Strength

Gender role socialization significantly influences the expression of compassion, limiting the access to tender self-compassion for those raised as men. Cultural expectations discourage men from being tender, leading to emotional harm and reduced participation in healing practices. This restricts their ability to harness the coping and resilience benefits linked to self-compassion. Conversely, those raised as women are often encouraged to be tender yet face pressure to be self-sacrificing, resulting in a higher level of compassion for others compared to men. Addressing these socialized roles is essential for fostering emotional well-being across genders.
