Steven Hickman: How Self-Compassion Builds Resilience | Bouncing Back #4

Self-compassion is a moment where we recognize our suffering, whilst still managing to give ourselves the kindness and positivity that will help us to relieve our suffering. Although self-compassion looks like a simple action, in fact, most of us would likely face challenges while practicing self-compassion.

In this episode of Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, host Tia Harmer is joined by Steven Hickman, the Executive Director of the non-profit Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. He is a Certified Mindful Self-Compassion teacher and trainer, and a Clinical Psychologist by training. Steven and his colleague, Michelle Becker, co-developed the Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher Training program (both in-person and live online versions) and have directly participated in the training of over 1000 MSC teachers around the world. He has had the privilege of teaching the MSC program many times around the globe and is also a Certified teacher and trainer of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

The conversation is started by getting to know Steven through his favorite historical fiction book. Then we will go to the meat of the discussion on how he practices self-compassion day-to-day. He also shares how he combined the three components of self-compassion (mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness) when reacting to one particular problem.
