Show Notes

In this episode, we explore the vital concept of self-compassion, specifically tailored for therapists. Learn about why self-compassion prevents burnout and compassion fatigue, backed by research studies from pioneers like Kristen Neff and Mark Leary. Discover simple, practical yoga-based self-compassion exercises to integrate into both personal self-care routines and therapy sessions with clients.

"The more we do these, the more we are changing our neural pathways to move towards more self-compassion. It's going to take some time, so give yourself grace."
