How do self-compassionate people handle Difficult life events (like major illness and grief)? Really well.
To summarize this comprehensive study:
- Having trouble thinking about or feeling your grief? Self-compassion can help you effectively face where you're at.
- Grievers often wrestle with conflicting beliefs surrounding responsibility, blame, and regret that lead them to feel guilty. Self-compassion is an effective tool for managing this.
- Low on self-compassion? Chances are you view your behavior as being worse than an objective outside observer.
- Afraid the worst is yet to come? Practicing self-compassion now prepares you for difficult future circumstances
