This week Jon and Will take a deep dive into the power of Self-Compassion with best selling author Dr. Kristin Neff, who is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr Neff is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion nearly twenty years ago. She has been recognized as one of the most influential researchers in psychology worldwide. Along with her colleague Chris Germer she developed the empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion program and co-wrote The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook. Her latest book is: Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive. //TIMESTAMPS((((((((((((//LINKSDr. Kristin Neff - ww.self-compassion.orgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/NeffSelfCompassion/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/selfcompassionTwitter - https://twitter.com/self_compassion//WHERE YOU CAN FIND USText MINDFUL to 33777 to sign up for the MTM NewsletterWebsite - http://mentalkingmindfulness.com/Listen on Spotify - https://bit.ly/MTM-Podcast  Listen on Apple Podcast - https://bit.ly/MTM_Apple_Podcast  Watch on YouTube - https://youtube.com/@mentalkingmindfulness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mentalkingmindfulness  Follow Will - https://www.instagram.com/willnotfear/  Follow Jon - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonmacaskill  Join the MTM Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/153173176744665
