2020 is testing us. Even the most resilient among us are feeling the strain. Our reserves are depleted. Mindful Self Compassion offers tools that can help us help ourselves; taking short, needed breaks to re-ground and re-frame, speaking to ourselves as we would a dear friend, and deep-breathing. Our guest, Dr. Barbara Moser, is a MSC teacher, a fierce mental health and suicide-prevention advocate, and a retired medical doctor. She talks about the times, how MSC can help, and then leads us through two practices, teaching us the simple, proven-effective techniques. It's 24 minutes that could make a lifetime of difference if the tools appeal to you.https://self-compassion.org/link to BONUS MSC Practice: https://soundcloud.com/givingvoicetodepression/bonus-track-a-brief-mindful-self-compassion-practiceLink to Barbara's first episode: https://soundcloud.com/givingvoicetodepression/mindfulness-and-self-compassion-for-these-stressful-timesLink to Barbara's MSC site: CompassionMKE.com
