Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines self-compassion as recognizing personal suffering as a normal human experience and responding with kindness to alleviate pain. It explains that this practice activates the body's soothe system, which helps calm overactive threat and drive systems associated with emotions like anxiety and depression. The resource contrasts self-compassion with self-criticism, noting that highly self-critical individuals may particularly benefit from developing a more compassionate internal relationship.
