In this podcast episode, DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco discussed the importance of self-compassion and how it can assist with recovery. Self-compassion plays a crucial role in the process of recovery. By cultivating self-compassion, we provide ourselves with the emotional support necessary to navigate the ups and downs of recovery. It allows us to acknowledge our pain and suffering without judgment, fostering a sense of validation and resilience.

In this podcast episode, Aida talked about how mastering self-compassion or learning how to be compassionate towards yourself is just as hard as overcoming anxiety. Michelle then shared an analogy of how you treat yourself WHILE you feel vs. how you treat how you feel vs. how you feel. She also talked about how some of us are so mean to ourselves and how it affects us.

We hope you find this podcast episode helpful.
