Ep 27 Why I Preach Self-Compassion | interview by Catherine Courtice

Hello dear listener, welcome to today’s episode, in which I was interviewed by my colleague Catherine Courtice about the importance of self-compassion in healing from chronic symptoms.   Catherine is a writer, speaker, advocate and educator empowering those facing chronic pain and life-altering diagnoses. Her background in Kinesiology, Education, mobility, therapy, and coaching provides deep insight into the human experience. Having journeyed through chronic pain herself, she brings empathy, insight, and resilience to everything she does. Her 'wholistic' approach combines practical strategies, spiritual principles, and mindfulness techniques, guiding clients to find hope amidst life's challenges. Catherine's inspiring debut book, Embracing Life After Diagnosis:When Life Gives You Lemons, Choose the Lime, invites readers to embrace their unique healing journey and discover their limitless potential to live a fulfilling life after a life-altering diagnosis. Catherine lives and works in Wolfe Island, Ontario.   I was honored to be interviewed by Catherine as part of her Overcome Chronic Pain interview series, and I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation about the key role that self-compassion plays in healing.   You can find Catherine at: Website: https://www.catherinecourtice.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/overcomechronicpain/   And you can find me at: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@anna_holtzman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.annaholtzman.com
