Self-Compassion Basics

Hey Lovies.

In this episode of Compassion Confetti for Autism Moms, I introduce you to the 3 main components of

self-compassion. The basics, if you will.

Self-compassion, when meeting challenging situations with kindness and presence, can help dysregulate

the “threat” response and help move us into a place of nurturing comfort. And this practice in the long

run, will soften intense feelings like anxiety and fear and encourage and foster feelings of goodwill and

contentment.

Drawing a lot of content from the book The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristen Neff, PhD

and Christopher Germer, Ph.D., we break down what loving-kindness, mindfulness, and common

humanity are.

Finally, I share 2 easy-shmeasy practical techniques that take no time at all and are a fantastic way to

offer yourself loving support while you are smack dab in the middle of a HARD.
