Self-Compassion Approach Therapy in New York & Florida

How Does Self-Compassion Therapy Work?

In Self-Compassion therapy, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognizing Self-Criticism: You’ll learn to identify patterns of negative self-talk and replace them with more supportive and compassionate inner dialogue.
• Practicing Mindfulness: Developing present-moment awareness helps you observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, reducing reactivity and distress.
• Cultivating Self-Kindness: We focus on shifting from self-blame to self-support, helping you respond to challenges with care rather than criticism.
• Embracing Common Humanity: Understanding that everyone experiences difficulties allows you to feel less isolated and more connected to others.
• Building Emotional Resilience: Through self-compassion techniques, you’ll develop healthier ways of coping with setbacks, anxiety, and stress.
