Often, we may speak to others, and treat others, with far more compassion than we have for ourselves.

​

Our therapists understand the challenges of changing your self-talk from criticism, judgment, and expectation to gentleness, kindness, and care. Our inner critics can be a loud voice in our heads! 

​

We also understand the fears and concerns that may arise with beginning to let go of a strong inner critic. There could be fears around losing motivation, under-performing, or being weak or selfish. These are all common fears!

 

The research around self-compassion, however, indicates that higher self-compassion is connected to greater motivation, ambition, accountability, self-confidence, better mood, as well as less stress and anxiety (and better relationships!).
