Episode 30: Tools and Tips to help You Develop Healthy Self-Compassion

Are you kind and compassionate toward yourself or do you have a harsh inner critic?

We can develop a harsh inner critic from people on our lives-parents, pastors, teachers-who expected perfection while forgetting a core principle Jesus taught was how to love well.

This episode talks about confronting your harsh inner critic with grace and forgiveness. Amanda is joined by Drs. Tom and Bev as they discuss tips to offer yourself forgiveness and reflect on Jesus’ story of that Good Samaritan as a healthy example of self-love received from God and then given to others.

They also discuss self-compassion principles from Dr. Kristin Neff that help to build a healthy sense of love and compassion toward one’s self.
