The Importance of Self-Compassion and How It Can Assist With Recovery | EP 042
In this podcast episode, DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco discussed the importance of self-compassion and how it can assist with recovery. Self-compassion plays a crucial role in the process of recovery. By cultivating self-compassion, we provide ourselves with the emotional support necessary to navigate the ups and downs of recovery. It allows us to acknowledge our pain and suffering without judgment, fostering a sense of validation and resilience.
In this podcast episode, Aida talked about how mastering self-compassion or learning how to be compassionate towards yourself is just as hard as overcoming anxiety. Michelle then shared an analogy of how you treat yourself WHILE you feel vs. how you treat how you feel vs. how you feel. She also talked about how some of us are so mean to ourselves and how it affects us.
We hope you find this podcast episode helpful.

Healing develops in compassion, mercy and understanding. Grace…is the key. Critical, self condemning and frustration are fertile ground for anxiety.
Aida and Michelle, thank you so much for this podcast! Starting out with information on self-compassion was a fabulous idea. I can’t imagine how the application of DARE principles would go well while beating up on oneself at the same time. Psychologist Kristin Neff has done a lot of research and training on self-compassion and has a website devoted to it. On her website, she has a free self-compassion inventory one can take to more readily see how well (or not) one treats oneself in this respect. She also has KZread videos. Your efforts in conveying DARE principles is extraordinary. I hope you both know that you are making a valuable difference in our lives, and how much you’re appreciated.
There’s no need for healing because you are not broken ❤I love that
