In episode 83 of the Playing-it-Safe Podcast, Dr. Z chats with Paul Gilbert, the founder of Compassion-Focused Therapy, about navigating the tough moments in self-compassion.

For many, self-criticism is a classic playing-it-safe move. Itโ€™s like your mind is a champion at criticizing you in response to those moments in which you feel anxious about something that has happened or could happen.

Which of the following fear statements resonate with you?

- If Iโ€™m kind to myself, I will become a weak person.
- I need to be hard on myself or I will never get everything done.
- I donโ€™t deserve kindness.
- A harsh approach keeps me from making mistakes or keeps me disciplined.
- Self-criticism motivates me all the time.

Tap below to listen and learn how to treat yourself with more kindness โ€” even when itโ€™s hard.
