Show Notes
In today's episode, we discuss your relationship with yourself, focusing on the skill of Loving-Kindness.
- When you are having a hard time, are you kind or harsh with yourself?
- Do you berate yourself for real or perceived mistakes?
- Do you try to motivate yourself with criticism?
These tactics tend to not work in the long-run and erode your sense of self.
What if you had permission to be gentle and compassionate with yourself?
The DBT skill of Loving-Kindness meditation is based on the Buddhist practice of Metta, which can help you cultivate a gentle, loving relationship with yourself. Although the roots of this skill lie in Buddhism, we offer a secular version of the practice here.
