Dr Emily - Compassion of The Self

About this episode

<p>Do you feel like you're on your own side? Are you able to speak to yourself with kindness? Or stick up for yourself in front of others?</p> <p>That, my friend, is self-compassion and it can be incredibly hard to do.&nbsp;</p> <p>Dr Em says, "compassion" in Latin translates to &ldquo;with suffering.&rdquo; And SELF-compassion is how we relate, reflect and react when our self is suffering.</p> <p>In this episode, Dr Em talks about why cultivating a self-compassionate voice is SO DIFFICULT, but how it's also pivotal in getting us through our darkest moments.</p> <p>And we chat through whether self-compassion needs a re-brand? (Hugh's gunning for self-chop-out, but we're still taking recommendations?)&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/4gdli8B">https://bit.ly/4gdli8B</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>📖Books Josh hasn&rsquo;t read (but definitely will at some point)</p> <ul> <li>Against Empathy - Paul Bloom - <a href="https://amzn.to/4g53tbR">https://amzn.to/4g53tbR</a></li> <li>Fierce Compassion - Kristin Neff - <a href="https://amzn.to/4cJESGI">https://amzn.to/4cJESGI</a></li> </ul> <p>🎧Things to listen to</p> <ul> <li>Brooke Blurton - The Path of Most Resilience - <a href="https://apple.co/4e8XmkP">https://apple.co/4e8XmkP</a></li> <li>Dr Emily - Who Is Your Inner Critic &amp; Why Is It There? - <a href="https://apple.co/3XaFdw9">https://apple.co/3XaFdw9</a></li> </ul> <p>💻Things to check out</p> <ul> <li>Kristin Neff&rsquo;s online resources - <a href="https://bit.ly/3XspqKL">https://bit.ly/3XspqKL</a></li> <li>Paul Gilbert&rsquo;s review on Self-Compassion - <a href="https://bit.ly/3AQbJML">https://bit.ly/3AQbJML</a></li> </ul> <p>Dr Emily is a clinical psychologist and you can find out more about her here - <a href="https://bit.ly/4gesuBy">https://bit.ly/4gesuBy</a></p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
