[This episode with Dr Diana Hill is from a recent YouTube video aired on 26 July 2024. It is released here as a podcast to compliment the episode with Dr Steven C. Hayes released last Friday (30 August 2024).]

Welcome to Compassion in a T-Shirt! In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Diana Hill, a clinical psychologist and expert in acceptance-based and science-backed approaches to living well. Dr. Hill is the author of The Self-Compassion Daily Journal, a powerful resource designed to help you overcome self-criticism and cultivate kindness and forgiveness toward yourself.

In this insightful conversation, we explore:

.The role of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-focused therapy (CFT) in fostering self-compassion.

. Practical exercises and writing prompts from the journal to reduce anxiety, depression, and rumination.

. How self-compassion can improve relationships, boost self-worth, and build resilience, happiness, and optimism.

. Dr. Hill's personal journey toward self-compassion and her professional insights from working with clients.

. A profound revelation about the importance of love as a concept and its deep, transformative power in our work, life, and therapy. Together, we discuss how we should "bring love back" into all aspects of our lives!
