If you commit to regular practice, you can learn to recognize your pain and respond with care and kindness. Better yet, self-compassion gives you the courage to navigate challenging experiences. So, how do we develop self-compassion and make it part of our everyday lives?

In this episode, Noble Mind hosts Katherine King, PsyD and Alex Gokce, MSW share what self-compassion means to them, challenging us to build the reflex of care in response to our own suffering and treat ourselves as we would a good friend. They describe how they were each introduced to the idea of self-compassion, weighing in on how the practice makes mindfulness possible and deepens the way we give care to others. Listen in for insight on cultivating self-compassion in your life through consistent practice and learn how self-compassion can make you braver and more active in the world.
