In this second of her two part episode, author and parenting specialist Ann Douglas continues her discussion on mental health with a focus on self compassion. Through her own journey with Bipolar disorder, and as parent to four (now adult) children with their own mental health needs, Ann speaks from both practice and wisdom on Parenting Through the Storm (her recent book). She says, “When you treat yourself with self compassion, that spills over and allows you to treat others with compassion; to feel connected rather than separate from the rest of society.”
