Episode 128 | Self-Compassion, Mindfulness, and High Sensitivity in Motherhood with Dr. Kate Kaplan, PsyD

In today's episode of Psych Talk, I chat with Dr. Kate Kaplan, PsyD about self-compassion, mindfulness, and high sensitivity in motherhood. Kate discusses what self-compassion and mindfulness are and why they are important for mothers to use. Kate also discusses some mindfulness and self-compassion strategies that individuals can implement into their busy lives. Additionally, we discuss high sensitivity and challenges that highly sensitive people face. We discuss how highly sensitive people tend to have more anxiety and be more self-critical and how self-compassion and mindfulness can help with anxiety and self-critical thoughts. Even if you are not a mother, the topics discussed in this episode can apply to anyone that is highly sensitive or struggles with anxiety and self-critical thinking.
