I found this incredibly informative and helpful. I do not have good access to therapy (American expat living in West Nowhere, Japan), so the idea of Self-Compassion is new to me. I have started exploring this in my own way, first considering a “name, shame, and retrain” model for addressing the ‘riders in my bus’, but then moved on to “name, address, and re-educate” instead. I appreciate the way you framed this all in a concise and clear manner. I will be printing this post and returning to it as a resource in my adventure towards developing my own Self-Compassion.

Thank you for this thoughtful comment.
I appreciate the distinction between “name, shame, and retrain” vs “name, address, and re-educate.”
Development of a workable self-compassionate response is definitely an iterative process.
Take care for now,
Jeff
