Self-compassion Exercises
editI'm working on writing up a section on self-compassion exercises. What I have currently can be found in my Sandbox; it's primarily a summary of oral/written exercises that are available on Neff's website . I'm working on finding more information about the benefits of self-compassion exercises, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that doesn't have to do with mindfulness meditation (as a colleague is writing about this specific facet of self-compassion). Any suggestions, either on my current work or on resources relating to the benefits of self-compassion exercises? Leba.jokuty (talk) 19:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Self-compassion Scales
editHi there, I'm adding a section on self-compassion scales (long and short version) as well as their development. I have a lot of it completed in my Sandbox - still looking to expand a bit more. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. Kp garcia (talk) 20:00, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Tim Desmond?
editWhy doesn't this page mention Tim Desmond's work, specifically his book Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (2015)? His perspective is different than Neff's and seems like it's well regarded. Sorry if this comment isn't formatted correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3005:1C00:F700:59CB:8D7E:2AE:BF00 (talk) 22:14, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Correction/Offer an updated introduction to Self-compassion
editI would like to offer an update for the intro to this article and an updated link to the information:
Self-compassion is reminding yourself that even though things are hard right now, it is not a permanent state of being. The hard or difficult experiences may be a result of allowing oneself to experience life, with all its peaks and valleys. Kristin Neff defined self-compassion using six different elements: increased self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness as well as reduced self-judgment, isolation, and overidentification.[1]
Self-Kindness Versus Self-Judgment: Being kind to yourself in the heat of a negative experience and remembering to give yourself a break as you reflect on the situation with an open heart, without judgment.
Common Humanity Versus Isolation: Connecting with others around us and purposely seeking relationships even when it would be easier to retreat and hide from the world. As we connect, we are confronted with the realization that we all have problems and difficult situations. We are not unique in this situation, which will help minimize the feeling of being in the desert alone and that no one understands.
Mindfulness Versus Overidentification: Admitting to oneself that the situation is real and is really happening provides the opportunity to accept and acknowledge that the presence of pain and suffering. We are able to understand that the pain is happening in this moment, but it is not a permanent part of our future. It is happening at this moment which is not an indication of future circumstances. We do not become the pain and do not accept it as who we are to become.
