074: The Self-Compassionate Mother with Associate Professor and Author Dr. Kristin Neff

If your best friend called you upset because her baby has a horrible diaper rash that she blamed herself for, would you hop on the bandwagon and agree that it was her fault? Or would you offer suggestions to get rid of the rash and remind her that it happens? If she lost her cool on her toddler, would you scold her? Or would you respond with care?  Now imagine your own child has a bumpy red bottom or you are the one who lost their cool, would you respond the same way? Probably not. Most of us can comfort and support our friends when they make a mistake but not ourselves. Dr. Kristin Neff is here today to talk to us about the importance of self-compassion and how we can learn it.  Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3d5l5Wl  Book a Free 15 min Consult with a mom therapist: happyasamother.co/wellness  Follow Happy as a Mother on Instagram: instagram.com/happyasamother  Sign up for our weekly VIP Newsletter: happyasamother.co/newsletter  Register for one of our popular workshops: happyasamother.co/shop  Learn more about your ad choices.
