Pause: Embracing Imperfections: Letting Go Of Self-Judgment [Pause 55]

Welcome to this pause episode of I Thought I Was Over This, where we focus on the practice of getting regulated and cultivating self-compassion. In this episode, host Dr. Kimber guides you through a series of grounding exercises and self-affirmations to help you shift from a critical state of mind to a gentler, more compassionate mindset.

Through gentle prompts and soothing guidance, Dr. Kimber encourages you to explore your internal judgments, validate your experiences, and find safety and comfort within yourself. This episode invites you to embrace your humanity, acknowledge your mistakes, and cultivate self-compassion as a crucial part of thriving.

Dr. Kimber will leave you with a powerful reminder: "I matter," as well as read Mary Oliver's poem Wild Geese. You’ll also walk away with the writing prompt of reflecting on the things you enjoy about yourself. 

So settle in, take a deep breath, and join us as we journey towards self-compassion and kindness in this special pause episode.
