For many people, it\u2019s harder than feeling compassion for other people. You can feel like you don\u2019t deserve it, like being tough on yourself is why you\u2019re successful, like you\u2019ll fall short if you don\u2019t hold yourself to an impossible standard. You might say things to yourself that you would never, ever say to another person. This session is for anyone who is afraid to give themselves a break. \n\nI spent six months reading academic research about how self-doubt, regret, and self-compassion affect a person\u2019s ability to achieve their goals, learn from past experiences, and enjoy their life. Spoiler: Berating yourself doesn\u2019t help. We\u2019ll walk through evidence and strategies for building your self-compassion skills.", "facilitators": "Hannah Birch", "break": "y", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "wed-3pm", "transcription": "", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-15T15:00:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-15T16:00:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/wed-compassion"}

Do you feel well prepared and supported?
