At the Partners in Treatment Conference, I had the privilege of hearing from Kerry Horrell, PhD about the importance of self-compassion in the recovery process. She had us do an insightful exercise, that I I challenge you try.
Close your eyes, and imagine you see someone that you really do not like sitting outside of a hospital after hearing devastating news. Imagine how you would respond to them. Now, keep that in mind as you respond to your self talk regarding your day and challenges.
Chances are, you would treat that person you really do not like, with more compassion then yourself.
Thank you Kerry Horrell, PhD for such an educational and thought provoking presentation.
