Cultivating selfcompassion is important in addressing anxiety from "summary" of Unwinding Anxiety by Judson Brewer
When we find ourselves caught in the grip of anxiety, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of self-criticism and judgment. We may berate ourselves for feeling anxious, seeing it as a sign of weakness or failure. However, cultivating self-compassion can be a powerful antidote to this destructive cycle. By approaching ourselves with kindness and understanding, we can begin to unravel the knots of anxiety that have taken hold. Self-compassion involves treating ourselves as we would a close friend in times of need. Rather than adding fuel to the fire of anxiety with harsh self-judgment, we can offer ourselves the same warmth and care that we would extend to someone we love. This shift in perspective can help us break free from the cycle of negative thoughts and emotions that feed anxiety. When we practice self-compassion, we create a safe space within ourselves where we can acknowledge our anxiety without judgment. Instead of trying to suppress or ignore our feelings, we can hold them gently, recognizing that they are a natural part of the human experience. This acceptance can help us develop a sense of inner peace and resilience in the face of anxiety. By cultivating self-compassion, we can also learn to respond to ourselves with curiosity and openness. Rather than being swept away by anxious thoughts and feelings, we can investigate them with a sense of mindfulness and nonjudgmental awareness. This gentle inquiry can help us uncover the deeper roots of our anxiety, leading to greater self-understanding and insight.- Self-compassion is a powerful tool for untangling the knots of anxiety and finding a sense of peace and freedom within ourselves. By approaching ourselves with kindness, acceptance, and curiosity, we can pave the way for healing and transformation. So, the next time you find yourself caught in the grip of anxiety, remember to treat yourself with the same care and compassion you would offer to a beloved friend.
