Dr Emily - Compassion of The Self

Sobre este episodio

Do you feel like you're on your own side? Are you able to speak to yourself with kindness? Or stick up for yourself in front of others? That, my friend, is self-compassion and it can be incredibly hard to do.  Dr Em says, "compassion" in Latin translates to “with suffering.” And SELF-compassion is how we relate, reflect and react when our self is suffering. In this episode, Dr Em talks about why cultivating a self-compassionate voice is SO DIFFICULT, but how it's also pivotal in getting us through our darkest moments. And we chat through whether self-compassion needs a re-brand? (Hugh's gunning for self-chop-out, but we're still taking recommendations?)    To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: https://bit.ly/4gdli8B  📖Books Josh hasn’t read (but definitely will at some point) Against Empathy - Paul Bloom - https://amzn.to/4g53tbR Fierce Compassion - Kristin Neff - https://amzn.to/4cJESGI 🎧Things to listen to Brooke Blurton - The Path of Most Resilience - https://apple.co/4e8XmkP Dr Emily - Who Is Your Inner Critic & Why Is It There? - https://apple.co/3XaFdw9 💻Things to check out Kristin Neff’s online resources - https://bit.ly/3XspqKL Paul Gilbert’s review on Self-Compassion - https://bit.ly/3AQbJML Dr Emily is a clinical psychologist and you can find out more about her here - https://bit.ly/4gesuBy The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
