What does it mean to be kind to ourselves? In this week’s episode, self-compassion expert Kristy Arbon guides us through practices that help us live better lives. I first discovered self-compassion a few months ago through Dr. Kristen Neff’s work (read her book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, seriously) and knew right away when I started Queerology that I wanted to get a self-compassion expert on the show. I know that it can seem like a cliche thing to say, but the concepts contained within this practice have changed my life.
You can find more of Kristy’s work at her website, kristyarbon.com. There are also many, many resources (including guided meditation practices) over at self-compassion.org.
