What Is Self-Compassion?

This is an 18 minute talk about what Self-Compassion is and what Self-Compassion is not. I talk about how we sometimes want to let ourselves off the hook from doing things we don't necessarily want to do and we label it as "self-compassion" Having compassion for another first means that you are in touch with their suffering. Self-compassion works in much the same way in that it involves recognizing our own suffering when we're having a tough time, when we fail, etc.
