Self Compassion: Kryptonite for the Inner Critic | Kristin Neff | Ten Percent Happier-Dan Harris

Kristin Neff on self compassion and why it doesn’t have to lead to passivity, self absorption, or cheesiness. Guest Kristin Neff, professor and author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself and Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive. In this episode we talk about:
• How Kristin first got into meditation and why she was drawn to the practice of compassion
• How, paradoxically, self-compassion actually makes us less focused on ourselves
• The three components of self-compassion
• One of the big blockers for men in practicing self-compassion
• What self-compassion is and isn’t
• How research shows that self-compassion is a trainable skill
• Whether we actually need the internal cattle prod to get ahead
• Being kind to yourself even when you notice prejudice coming up in your mind
• And how men and women deal with shame differently

[@MarkThrive]

Reparenting (w/ self compassion) myself for two years has really reduced my toxic shame created by childhood CPTSD.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for sharing.

Dan I struggle just like you do with the fear of laziness or lack without my critical voice. I'm trying to learn.
I wonder how your progress has been and what you have noticed.
