In this podcast episode, we discuss the challenges of accepting care and compassion and ways to build self-compassion and supportive relationships. Many people struggle to accept kindness, especially if they have experienced trauma or abuse in the past. However, it's important to recognize that everyone deserves kindness and support, and it's okay to take your time in opening up to others. We also explore ways to practice self-compassion and build supportive relationships, including seeking support from a therapist or joining a support group, opening up to trusted friends or family members, and seeking out communities or groups that share similar experiences or interests. It's important to remember that building supportive relationships takes time and effort, but the more we practice accepting kindness, the easier it becomes.
