The Self-Care Toolbox: Self-Compassion Break

Much of the conversation around empathy, kindness and compassion is focused on directing these helpful, nurturing and pro-social emotional states towards others. But what about treating ourselves in the same caring, nurturing way? In this episode, we will not only explore the psychological value of self-compassion, but we'll also engage in a self-compassion exercise developed by the leading researcher in this field, Dr. Kristin Neff.
