Fierce Self-Compassion | Zoe Shobbrook-Fisher | Reach Minds - Thoughts for your Life Journey
Welcome to our episode of ‘Reach Minds: Thoughts for Your Life’s Journey’ podcast. In today’s session, we will explore the significance of fierce self-compassion – so compassion not just as a means of self-soothing and self-kindness, but also as a powerful catalyst for taking practical actions and standing up for ourselves. Fierce self-compassion emphasizes the importance of support, allyship, and community in overcoming challenges with practical applications.
About Zoe Shobbroook-Fisher
Today, I am joined by Zoe Shobbroook-Fisher, whom I met back in 2016 when I attended her 8-week MBSR course. She helped me start my journey into mindful practice. Zoe's wish is to share mindfulness and compassion approaches for greater well-being and joy in a way that is accessible, personal, and with integrity.
Zoe is a Certified Mindful Self-Compassion teacher, mentor and teacher trainer . She trained in teaching Mindfulness at Bangor University and is a co-Director at The Mindfulness Project. She leads retreats for The Mindfulness Network, and trains teachers for the Sussex Mindfulness Centre. She runs courses in workplace and community settings, health-based charities and for NHS staff and patients. Taking care of her own wellbeing includes making time for her lifelong love of creativity and play with amongst other things singing and song writing, and conscious dance. She’s also an accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with the BACP.
In this podcast, we pose the following questions on fierce self-compassion:
- What does fierce self-compassion mean, and how does it differ from what we might normally think of as self-compassion?
- What might be some of the symptoms where a person might begin to recognize that they need to practice fierce self-compassion?
- What might be some of the practical applications of fierce self-compassion?
- What are some of the modalities a person can access in practicing fierce self-compassion?
- What benefits have you observed in others when they practice fierce self-compassion?
- What tips or resources would you offer for someone to start fierce self-compassion?
