Ever stop to consider you may be sabotaging your motivation, success or productivity? Today Dr. Andrea is joined by Dr. Kristin Neff, trailblazer, and expert in self-compassion. Its likely self-compassion is not what you think it is! We'll discuss the physiological problems of self-criticism that tap into the body's protect and defend system, releasing cortisol and adrenaline. Rather than a sabretooth tiger today's threats are a hit to our self-concept; and our body doesn't know the difference when we confuse our actual selves with our thoughts about ourselves. So, a negative work eval, snarkey comment from a friend, or self-criticism all threaten self-concept and drive us into protect and defend behaviors. We attack the problem, the problem being ourselves. We are both attacker and attacked. Hear from this pioneering expert how self-compassion can stop this behavior and make the difference in helping us thrive!
