We describe various fears, blocks and resistances (FBRs) to self-compassion, and propose ways to address them. We share the concept of distress tolerance, which is the willingness to be with our experience as opposed to being avoidant.<break strength="x-strong"/> We invite opportunities to practice responding to our suffering with warmth, nurturance and understanding. The core practice we teach here is to engage your whole experience, body and mind, through a caring emotional texture and to offer yourself the compassion that you deserve!<break strength="x-strong"/> <break strength="x-strong"/> <break strength="x-strong"/> <break strength="x-strong"/> </speak>
