I needed other-compassion to heal from my self-loathing/shame from extensive childhood abuse, and found that in my 12-step meetings where "protection and care" (i did not get in childhood) were unspoken but freely given, over, and over again. As we say in recovery: "can't do it by myself". Stress R Us
In this time of pandemic, self compassion is even more important and more difficult for many. Loving alone and missing human touch is most difficult. Other ways of connecting are necessary! Thank you for this great interview! I'm a slow learner...and that's okay!!
Really helpful to think of that fight -flight - freeze turned inward - and now that relates to emotional systems. Kinda obvious but never made that leap :-)
Mindful self compassion is a very important tool to live amid suffering and being subjected to suffering.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏

It doesn't seem to be as easy as they say to have self compassion. They say its within you but i can't find it.
Agree, this can feel pretty much like the hardest work in the World ...
i love it
