The Science of Self-Compassion | Kristin Neff | Talks at Google

[@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach]

Kristen Neff's work is brilliant and has dramatically improved my experience of myself and my life! It sounds simple but it's radical to acknowledge our emotional pain and offer ourselves kindness. She provides such a potent road map.

[@user-nl9ne5gk6k]

Ohh boo-hoo! toughen up, snowflake and go cry to your rabbi some more!

[@joywilliams4014]

Thank you for being you and teaching us these tools. Sometimes I even hold my own hand. Tara Brach is also great to listen to. Love to all reading this. Be kind to yourself and never judge yourself 💕

[@karenwhynott6487]

You Kristin Neff are helping so many ..this is the missing piece ..for me.. Love & gratitude.

[@vipermad358]

How many? Do you have statistics? This video just made me confused and angry.

I bought your book. Not so easy to practice,but l 'll try to embrace myself with tender care. Thank you for publishing it.

[@Fadimercho]

The most intriguing issue with self compassion is that if one does not practice it and keeps doing the opposite he/she will end up treating others with the same harshness as he/she treats himself/herself...it is so true when you said treat others as you treat yourself...So the misgivings that you received at the early stages were in my opinion all wrong...thus why the research is affirming the facts now

[@moneymechanics77]

Thank you for writing and speaking about this subject!

[@qiugezhang6847]

She is a great psychologist and associated professor at university of a texas at Austin. Surprised that so few audience were attending and the host even didn’t introduce her properly as Dr. Kristin Neff, but saying her as “very special”. Why special? Sound like as if she is some fancy spiritual preacher?! Good job google.

[@Historian212]

Possibly a subtle sexism; in some cases, a woman scholar can be perceived more comfortably as "very special" than as a serious scholar.

[@marcmoini]

For a better understanding of self-esteem, that in turn allows self-compassion, I recommend Pia Mellody's videos.

[@Historian212]

By "the Bible," Neff refers to the New Testament. There's an older formulation by Jesus' earlier contemporary, Hillel the Elder, that says: "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow." This puts it rather more in line with what Neff is saying. (Hillel the Elder rose from poverty and obscurity to become the spiritual head of the Jewish people in the generation before Jesus. Hillel was a Pharisee, which casts serious doubt on the notion promoted by the NT authors that the Pharisees were all lying hypocrites. Hillel's wisdom, preserved through the ages in the Talmud and elsewhere, is still quoted today by people who never heard of him; he's the earliest source of the saying: "If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? But if I am for myself only, then what am I? And if not now, when?")

I watch this video, and as I do, so many thoughts arise in me... mainly: I have severe C-PTSD, I am an INFJ, and I have a very fucked up relationship with my parents... it's part of the reason for the fucked-upness that is my life. I am so ashamed at the current state of my life. I have no clue how to escape the horrors of it. my life is fucked up beyond imagination. what to do? 999-trillion layers of guilt and shame and rage and regret and grief, surface in me and consume me. eating my soul alive...

[@user-nl9ne5gk6k]

@@jalaluddin-rm9mn "expert"? ANYONE can go tell people to love, hug, and B.S. themselves! It doesn't make them an "expert" and it doesn't mean the B.S. works! Ask her if she is married and has kids and has ever dealt with REAL FAMILY problems and how she has dealt with it all, without turning to opioids, a bottle of alcohol, heroin or some drug, drink, pill or bad habit! Bet she has not! Love the so called "self help" and "parenting" "experts" who never faced a REAL tough decision or life threatening situation who think they should tell us from up on high how the rest of us should think, speak, act and treat others! If your PARENTS didn't teach you how to behave and if you lack common sense, which I see most on here have little to none of, than you stand no chance of ever making it! If/When you pathetic kids ever grow up, you'll know what I mean! Simple as that!

[@StressRUs]

Unfortunately, compassion is a descriptor for how we are treated (or not) by others, most importantly in childhood and by our parents. 45% of children born today are unplanned/unwanted and, so, are raised by a parent/parents who are working, were unwanted themselves, in unhappy marriages, or were outright abandoned. Such children automatically blame themselves for their abuse/abandonment and only a profound reparenting experience over time can displace the self-loathing with self-compassion. The 12-step recovery movements provide this for many of us today, just as our primordial Hunter-Gatherer clans did before we lost that support system. Sorry, sista, but this is not a DYA activity, and you are a fraud. Stress R Us
