Episode 27: Cultivating Self Compassion And Building Shame Resilience with Dr. Jodi Larry

Self-compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. Instead of just ignoring your pain with a “stiff upper lip” mentality, you stop to tell yourself “this is really difficult right now,” how can I comfort and care for myself in this moment? It's so important for us to have practices and rituals in place for self compassion work and working with our shame, it's not enough to simply have awareness. If we stop at awareness without putting in the work, it will show up in different areas of our lives including our relationship with ourselves, with our bodies, with others.  In this episode, Dr. Jodi Larry, Naturopathic doctor and the founder of Rituwell shares her knowledge on the topic, and really sheds light on what happens in our brains when we are experiencing a shame spiral, how to get out of it, and bring in self compassion but most importantly how to recognize and embrace our humanity.  For more information on Dr. Jodi Larry's services you can find her on instagram @drjodilarry or visit her website www.jodilarrynd.com
