Facing life challenges with selfcompassion involves treating oneself with the same kindness and understanding as one would a good friend. Selfcompassion can have a profound impact on mental health and overall wellbeing, filling a critical gap in mental health practices. Ultimately, selfcompassion has lifechanging potential, acting as a superpower, and dispelling misconceptions that it is selfindulgent or a sign of weakness.

Dr. Kristin Neff is a pioneer in selfcompassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on the construct over twenty years ago. She has been recognized as one of the
most influential researchers in psychology worldwide. Kristin has written several bestselling books on selfcompassion, cofounded the Center for Mindful SelfCompassion, and creator of the online SelfCompassion Community.
