Self-compassion and Autism: Breakthrough insights from new research | Chase Sherwell
Join me on Compassion in a T Shirt as I speak with Dr. Chase Sherwell, a Principal Research Technician at the Compassionate Mind Research Group, about his latest study on self compassion in autistic adults.
We discuss the challenges autistic individuals face with self criticism and emotional regulation, and how compassion focused therapy can provide support.
The conversation delves into key findings, including how self compassion can influence the brain and body and the importance of context in compassion interventions. Dr. Sherwell also shares insights on the need for variety and co-designed interventions tailored to neurodivergent individuals.
