Aida and Michelle, thank you so much for this podcast! Starting out with information on self-compassion was a fabulous idea. I can’t imagine how the application of DARE principles would go well while beating up on oneself at the same time. Psychologist Kristin Neff has done a lot of research and training on self-compassion and has a website devoted to it. On her website, she has a free self-compassion inventory one can take to more readily see how well (or not) one treats oneself in this respect. She also has RU-vid videos. Your efforts in conveying DARE principles is extraordinary. I hope you both know that you are making a valuable difference in our lives, and how much you’re appreciated.
