Listen in as I model the 4 Steps of Self-Compassion as presented in the book, Self Compassion by Kristin Neff: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10127008-self-compassion. I model how to use the steps and what the opposite looks like as well. I also define self-care as not about running from the moment or the emotion but taking an action toward resolution or just being kind to ourselves like we’d want a friend to do for themselves.

Four Steps:

1- recognize/acknowledge/accept

2- you remind yourself you’re not alone in this

3- show yourself compassion

4- be kind to yourself by taking some small action
