The truth about the hard work of loving yourself.
Do you struggle with self-compassion? Are you tired of people telling you to love yourself? For many of us, it takes more than platitudes to put compassion at the heart of our inner conversation.
In this episode, Cathy explores:
- How most self-help advice on self-compassion doesn’t acknowledge how challenging it can be.
- Why telling someone to stop being so hard on themselves doesn’t actually help.
- Why trying to silence your inner critic can actually make it worse.
- And finally, what she’s learned from her clients and her own experience about what it really takes to love yourself.
