Practicing self-compassion is so vital right now that we consulted Dr. Kristin Neff on exercises for directing compassion inwards. Kristin is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research and a co-developer of the empirically supported training program "Mindful Self-Compassion." She guides us on some self-soothing exercises and unpacks the research on why this approach is one of the most powerful sources of strength, coping and resilience. (Audio only)
