🎧 NEW PODCAST 🎧 'In helping people heal from the trauma inflicted by human beings behaving inhumanly, our humanity is all-important. Our ability to sit unflinchingly with someone in their distress and treat them with dignity and respect is far more important, to me, than the ability to write an essay on it.'

One of the simplest ways to practice self-compassion in the middle of class is a breathing exercise called “giving & receiving compassion.”

On your in-breath, imagine you’re receiving compassion for yourself, and on your out-breath, offer compassion back to your students.

This practice helps me stay present during hectic moments, and it helps me pause before reacting.

Thank you for beautiful graphic and post that illustrates such a powerful practice 🙏🏽

"The aim of therapy is transformation. It's to become, in many ways, a better person - the best version of ourselves that we can become. And ultimately that's the most selfless thing we can do."
