If someone you knew was experiencing anxiety, how would you calm and reassure them? For many of us, this comes easily. Having compassion and empathy for others is something we do every day. However, when we look at how often we use the same empathic listening on ourselves for our anxiety, it can be hard to find the same amount of compassion. Perhaps then, self-compassion deserves more space in our personal struggle with anxiety. How can we go about achieving this? Ella and Josh discuss the proactive and reactive nature of caring for oneself and some things we can do to manage our inner critic.
Some books we talked about in the podcast that will help you if you’re interested in learning more about self-compassion:
Kristen Neff - Self-Compassion
Brene Brown - Daring Greatly
Paul Gilbert - Compassion Focused Therapy
Chris Irons & Elaine Beaumont - The Compassionate Mind Workbook: A step-by-step guide to developing your compassionate self
