Self-compassion can be a tricky term, not to mention difficult to practice. We might mistakenly believe that it’s selfish or self-indulgent, or that compassion makes us weak. We may also have trouble extending the same loving kindness to ourselves that we so willingly offer to others.
We hear from self-compassion expert Chris Germer on why those beliefs couldn’t be further from the truth. 
This episode is a brief excerpt from Chris’ presentation to participants in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program at <a href="http://teach.mindfulnessexercises.com">http://teach.mindfulnessexercises.com</a>
