In this podcast, I talk about how self-judgment is entirely cultural, and how we can change our inner culture to become deeply compassionate.

I explain how aiming to be more compassionate as a parent can help us increase our self-compassion, and why changing our inner dialogue is such a cultural imperative in these times.

In this episode, I talk about:

The three types of feelings

The two ways babies and children learn to repress feelings

Why compassion and connection is key around repression

How we are similar to babies and children

Understanding repression and dissociation

Helping babies, children and us have fewer repression mechanisms.

In this podcast, I talk about how harsh inner dialogue and out of proportion feelings come from the past, and tangible practices we can use to develop an inner dialogue that is about the present, and how we can listen to feelings from the past with loving presence so that we respond more in the present.
