The Intentional Clinician: Psychology, Philosophy, and Therapy
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
In this episode, Paul Krauss MA LPC talks with Sivie Suckerman about Mindfulness Based Self-Compassion. Sivie discusses how to cultivate the ability to observe one's experiences with curiosity and kindness. Sivie and Paul discuss how to work on a way of relating to one's self and one's experiences with a non-judgemental attitude. If one came of age in a situation where they were motivated by criticism, it can be difficult to change one's internal thinking habits. Sivie goes on to further elucidate how Self-Compassion fits in with Mindfulness-Based practices and Buddhist Psychology.
