Awareness & Self-Compassion

“Understanding your own suffering is not self-indulgence, it’s self-rescue.”

Originally when I started researching this chapter I thought it would be difficult and I wasn’t wrong. It would seem that we don’t pay enough attention as a society to self-awareness and self-compassion.

I did however find a correlation between self-compassion and chronic condition management. Like I said though there wasn’t a lot to go on.

For instance, I can generally get the N value of questions for other chapters above 100 professionals, however in this instance N=20, but it’s a consensus in the affirmative despite the need for further study and validation.
