I always love listening to Kristin. This talk was no different. Clear and concise. She brings a balance of science, theory and practice that is simple to understand and very effective. Since bringing self compassion to my life and meditation practice I have noticed a marked difference in the internal dialogue and resilience to ‘be with’ difficult emotions, specifically fear and rage that may be provoked by others behaviour. Namaste Kristin.
