In the Wake

Self Compassion and Softening Your Inner Critic


Listen Later

Last year, I had a breakthrough in therapy that led me to realize just how self critical and perfectionistic I was. After coming to terms with the suffering I was creating for myself, I began to work through a Self Compassion workbook during my therapy sessions. This workbook teaches the three components needed to build a self compassionate voice: mindfulness, common humanity, and self kindness. 

In this solo episode, I relay some key things I have learned along the way on my self growth journey. I dive deeper into the following:

  • A Valentine's message
  • My breakthrough in therapy surrounding self compassion
  • Self compassionate motivation and perfectionism
  • 3 components of self compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and self kindness
  • Rephrasing the narratives of your inner critic
  • Finding your self love language
