What is self-compassion therapy?
Self-compassion therapy incorporates practices that help you treat yourself with kindness, especially during difficult times. Based on research by Dr. Kristin Neff, it involves three core components: self-kindness instead of self-judgment, common humanity instead of isolation, and mindfulness instead of over-identification with thoughts. Many therapists integrate these principles into their work.
How can self-compassion therapy help?
Many people find self-compassion approaches helpful for reducing self-criticism, managing anxiety and depression, building resilience, and improving overall well-being. It can support you in developing a healthier inner voice, bouncing back from setbacks, and treating yourself with the same care you show others. Self-compassion is particularly useful for those who tend to be hard on themselves.
What happens in a self-compassion session?
In self-compassion sessions, your therapist may guide you through exercises to develop a kinder inner dialogue. You might explore patterns of self-criticism, practice responding to yourself with warmth, and learn specific self-compassion techniques. Sessions often include mindfulness practices and reflection on how you relate to yourself during challenging moments.
How do I find a self-compassion therapist?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who incorporate self-compassion into their practice. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.
Is self-compassion therapy right for me?
Self-compassion therapy may be a good fit if you tend to be hard on yourself, struggle with perfectionism, or want to develop a kinder inner voice. It's helpful for those who notice harsh self-talk or difficulty accepting their own imperfections. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to discuss whether this approach resonates with you.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Browse self-compassion therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose warmth resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
