There are both mental and physical health benefits of self-compassion. So if you think of the word in Latin - compassion -  passion means suffering. It's how are we with our suffering? And if we aren't with it in a healthy way, in other words, if we dive into it or we become overwhelmed by it, we may develop depression or anxiety or sleep disorders, eating disorders, and then it also may start affecting our health. We might have a lot of cortisol, high blood pressure, and it can have these knock-on effects. So what happens with self-compassion is when we're struggling, we're hurting in some way. If we're there for ourselves, like we would be for a supportive friend, that means we're stronger and we're more able to deal with the tough stuff without being knocked over by it. And so it's linked to better mental health, not only fewer negative things like depression, anxiety, stress, but also positive mind states like happiness and optimism. And that's because if you think about it, kindness and connectedness, these are positive emotions. So we're kind of framing our difficulty. We aren't pretending it's not there, but we're just being kind and supportive ourself to ourselves in the midst of the difficulty. And these are positive emotions that help us cope.

Welcome to the #SPAITGIRL Talk Show with Yvette Le Blowitz EP.149 - Fierce Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff, Ph.D, Pioneer of Self-Compassion, Bestselling Author Kristin Neff, Ph.D is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. The co-authored the Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook and Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. Her newest work focuses on how to balance self-acceptance with the courage to make needed change. In June 2021, she published Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.  Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book Self-Compassion. Now, ten years and many studies laters, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce. We must also act courageously in order to protect ourselves from harm and injustice, say no to others so we can meet our own needs, and motivate necessary change in ourselves and society. Gender roles demand that women be soft and nurturing, not angry or powerful.  But like yin and yang, the energies of fierce and tender self-compassion must be balanced for wholeness and wellbeing. Drawing on a wealth of research, her personal life story and empirically supported practices, Kristin Neff demonstrates how women can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and end the silence around sexual harassment and abuse. Most women intuitively recognise fierceness as part of their true nature, but have been discouraged from developing it.  Women must reclaim their power in order to create a healthier society and find lasting happiness.

“The more compassion you give to yourself, the more you have available for others.” — Kristin Neff   Many of us prioritize compassion for others, but what about compassion for ourselves?

How does compassion impact life? This is something that Dr. Kristin Neff has spent years studying and has written several books about. She's specifically interested in self-compassion in women and why it is necessary for wellness. Listen as I do a bit of fan-girling and we talk about this very important topic.    Dr. Kristin Neff is one of the world's leading experts on self-compassion. In fact, she was the first to operationally define and measure the construct. She has now also designed an 8-week course to help teach the skills necessary to develop healthy self-compassion both personally and professionally.   But why is she so intrigued by this particular skill?    She became very interested in the practice of Buddhism as she was going through her graduate program and self-compassion is one of the core tenets.

“You stupid idiot!” Most of us in the civilized world would refrain from using such hurtful and aggressive language when addressing others. However, if someone were to be a fly on our mind's wall and hear the things we say to ourselves, they might be horrified. When individuals face challenges, encounter failures, and make fools of themselves, the harsh and judgmental critic within gets cracking with self-flagellation. However, a learned alternative is to extend self-compassion, which is less about judging yourself positively - when undeserving and more about relating to yourself kindly. On this episode, one the world's leading experts on self-compassion, author, and Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Kristin Neff,  discusses what self-compassion is, the wide-ranging benefits of engaging in self-compassion, and how self-compassion motivates individuals to improve personal weaknesses while diminishing our tendency to engage in social comparisons. Executive Function skills, when mastered, help create a playbook for personal success and that playbook is incomplete without the teachings from the science of being nice to one's self. About Kristin Neff, PhDKristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.

Are you ready for a brain workout? Are you ready for a mind expanding conversation with the incredible Dr. Kristin Neff? Kristin received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley in moral development and followed it up with a post doc at the University of Denver studying self concept development and now she's working as an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. During Kristin's last year of graduate school she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation in the Insight Meditation tradition ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work, she decided to conduct research on self-compassion – a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically. Kristin is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, creating a scale to measure the construct almost 20 years ago. She is the author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, and the brand new book Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive. Together with Dr. Chris Germer she developed a training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook as well as Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. She is also co-founder of the nonprofit Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.

And this is not egghead up in the ivory tower stuff. Her work has been cited over 35,000 times!

Join me as we flip the page into Chapter 80 …  What You'll Learn: How can meditation help us navigate mistakes? What is tender versus fierce self compassion and how do they alleviate suffering? What do #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and self-compassion have in common? How we can channel our anger constructively? Why is female anger perceived differently than male anger? Who is the Goddess Kali? How can anger and love co-exist? How can we teach our kids to be angry in a constructive way? How can we separate ego and anger? What are the benefits of anger? How are women socialized to view their worth through relationships? Why are social systems still so sexist? What does Buddhism teach us about love? Why is there no male word for spinster?
