Self-compassion promotes compassion

Psychologist Adriana Zapata-Delgado, who will be speaking at Rethinking Mental Health 5.0, says: 
“People often judge themselves too harshly and practitioners are not exempt from this. We can be hard on ourselves and sometimes the people we work with. By practicing self-compassion, we can establish better connections with our clients, we are more compassionate to them and they in turn become more compassionate to themselves."
