In short: Compassion and Self-Compassion is a 10-day guided meditation program from Mindful Science for adults with a harsh inner critic, covering working with the inner judge, loving-kindness, compassion for others and forgiving someone who hurt you. It is included in the membership with a 7-day free trial.
Treat yourself the way you would treat someone you love.
Turn down the volume of self-criticism without losing your drive.
Extend that kindness to your relationships, even to someone who hurt you.
Each session builds on the one before. All you need is a quiet place and a few minutes.

Wonderful, an incredible help to learn so much about anxiety, negative thoughts and how my mind works.
Since I started using the Mindful Science practices, I feel much better.

Reviews from our Spanish-speaking community, translated from Spanish.
Psychologist Kristin Neff describes it as treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend: self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness.
Research on loving-kindness and self-compassion practices links them to less self-criticism and greater wellbeing. The goal is to respond to critical thoughts kindly, not to eliminate them.
Forgiveness practice focuses on releasing your own resentment, not excusing what happened. The program guides it gently and at your own pace.
