What is Self-Compassion?
Treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer a good friend in difficulty. Self-compassion is not self-indulgence — it is the foundation from which genuine change becomes possible. Shame motivates avoidance; compassion motivates growth.
When you might feel self-compassion
Self-Compassion is a specific form of identity, which itself is a type of personal. You might experience this feeling in situations where personal is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define self-compassion.
