Offering compassion as a response to perceived suffering is a natural, human thing to do. Why then, is it so difficult to practice self-compassion when we, ourselves, are hurting?

In this episode, Sean Faro identifies some common obstacles to self-compassion, and invites us to overcome them by slowing down and feeling our feelings with patience, tenderness and care.
