Are you incredibly hard on yourself? Adopted people often struggle with loving ourselves because our very first experiences were ones of rejection. One way to cultivate self-worth is self-compassion. Kristin Jones, CMHC teaches us what self-compassion looks like, why adopted people could really benefit from this practice, and she also walks us through a self-compassion exercise. I’m guessing you’re going to want to replay this episode a few times to soak in all of Kristin’s wisdom! <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/hsselfcompassion">Full Show Notes Here</a> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Kristin Jones, CMHC: <a href= "https://www.tradewindscounseling.com/">www.tradewindscounseling.com</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/adopteesconnectslc/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/kristin.jones.3914">Facebook</a></li> <li>Haley Radke: <a href= "https://twitter.com/haleyradke">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/haleyradkepodcaster">Facebook</a></li> <li>Adoptees On: <a href= "https://twitter.com/adopteeson">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/adopteeson/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/adopteesonpodcast">Facebook</a></li> </ul> Subscribe <a href= "http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adoptees-on/id1123372859">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href= "https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL2Fkb3B0ZWVzb24ubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M%3D"> Google Podcasts</a> | <a href= "https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-Adoptees-On-Discover-28264488/"> iHeart Radio</a> | <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/6DHevAi3rn7SfugmlPBSKJ">Spotify</a> | <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=93562&refid=stpr">Stitcher</a> | <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkc4Ej6Go6AYLl3_T4H2sfw">YouTube</a> Support Adoptees On <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=N7YQ9MNDCCYFW"> One Time Donation</a> | <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/partner">Monthly</a> | <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/partner">Secret Facebook Group</a> Connect <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/newsletter">Monthly Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/connect">Send a Note or Record a Voicemail</a>

The podcast where adoptees discuss the adoption experience. This is not the usual adoption talk. You will find real, raw, and deep feelings addressed in these interviews. No sugar-coating here! Come and laugh, cry, learn and heal with us.

Adult adoptees share stories of search, reunion, and secondary rejection. Adoptees On also curates recommended resources to encourage and educate the adoption community about adoptee issues.
