When I approached my friend and fellow practitioner Rod Sherwin about what topic he wanted to talk about in a podcast interview he recommended a conversation about self-compassion. At the time of the interview I was unfamiliar with the word. Self-compassion is in stark contrast to self-esteem. It is all about seeing yourself in the same way as you see others. Often we are supportive and understanding when others fail, but when we fail we are very hard on ourselves. Self-compassion is about being able to extend that same love and understanding towards ourselves.
In this interview we explore self-compassion in depth and practical ways in which we can incorporate it into our daily lives and our daily tapping.

Great podcast. Compassionate self acceptance is a subject close to my heart.
As well as Kirsten Neff there is also a guy called Paul Gilbert here in the UK who’s written a long and comprehensive book called The Compassionate Mind. His website has got a lot of useful information / research / articles. http://www.compassionatemind.co.uk Worth checking out if this is of interest to you.
Keep up the great work.
All the best,

I have heard of Rod before through my friend and we can’t wait to meet him one day. Me and my sister share the same passion as Rod and we want a lot of people to know about EFT and how it can positively affect the lives of many.
