Re-releasing this as it had such a profound impact on me. This week I am joined by Dr. Kristin Neff PHD to explore self-compassion, and how we can use this practice to radically improve our parenting and relationships with our children, as well as our relationship with ourselves. Kristin is a world renowned psychologist, and the world’s leading expert on self-compassion. She has a hugely popular TED talk and multiple books on self-compassion. What we cover: - How Kristin became interested in self-compassion - What self-compassion really is, why it isn’t self-indulgent or self-pitying - 'Mirror neurons’ and why they're really important for every parent to understand - Kristin addresses the main blocks to self-compassionate practice that many people have FInd full show notes at www.motherkind.co/podcast For more on Dr Kristin Neff, please see; self-compassion.org/ Kristin’s Tedx Talk at www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvtZBUSplr4
