Welcome to this pause episode of "I Thought I Was Over This," where we focus on the practice of getting regulated and cultivating self-compassion. In this episode, host Dr. Kimber guides you through a series of grounding exercises and self-affirmations to help you shift from a critical state of mind to a gentler, more compassionate mindset.
Through gentle prompts and soothing guidance, Dr. Kimber encourages you to explore your internal judgments, validate your experiences, and find safety and comfort within yourself. This episode invites you to embrace your humanity, acknowledge your mistakes, and cultivate self-compassion as a crucial part of thriving.
Dr. Kimber will leave you with a powerful reminder, "I matter," as well as read Mary Oliver's poem Wild Geese. This episode leaves you with the writing prompt of reflecting on the things you enjoy about yourself.
So settle in, take a deep breath, and join us as we journey towards self-compassion and kindness in this special pause episode.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
