Compassion

What is Self-Compassion?

Self-compassion is recognizing and

understanding frustrations, losses, mistakes, limitations, and falling short is part of the human condition, a reality shared by all of us. It's the ability to view our faults and frailties as human qualities worth compassion. It is a willingness to respond via presence, support, and kindness in action.

Who would benefit from practicing Self-Compassion?

Self-compassion skills can benefit health care professionals, allowing them to experience greater satisfaction with one's caregiving role and less stress. Self-compassion is associated with fewer negative states like depression, anxiety, stress, and shame.

Why practice Self-Compassion?

Self- compassion enables greater self-clarity, because personal failings can be acknowledged with kindness and do not need to be hidden.

And despite common misunderstandings that self-compassion leads to weakness and self-indulgence, research shows that self-compassionate people have high personal standards, are less afraid of failure, and are more likely to try again and to persist in their efforts after failing.
