  1. A Teen's Journey to Mindful Self-Compassion

    AUG 21

    A Teen's Journey to Mindful Self-Compassion

    How many of us know a child or teen that we wish would learn mindfulness and self-compassion? Listen to this episode to discover what inspired this 17-year-old to embark on a Mindful Self-Compassion journey. One of Grant’s biggest take-aways from the mindfulness and self-compassion classes he took was learning that he was not alone with his struggles. When Grant discovered that his peers struggled with difficult thoughts, he became less judgmental and more accepting of himself. Take aways for grown-ups: * Your own self-compassion matters. According to Grant, before his mom began practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, she tended to get frustrated with his big feelings, and they would have conflict. After his mom started practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, she became more understanding with Grant and helped him learn how to handle his emotions. Even if your child is grown, even if you don’t have children…your increased ability to be mindful and self-compassionate will help you show up more compassionately for others. * There is tremendous power in helping your child understand and experience that they are not alone (We Are in It Together!!). Share your struggles, and model being mindful and self-compassionate in the midst of them. As Grant said in the interview: understand yourself, forgive yourself and try new things!

What tools and resources are available to help kids and grown-ups practice resilience and gain freedom from obsessive thoughts and urges? Gwen Tatera is an educator and author of the children’s book, The OCD Beaver, which is available on Amazon. A note from Jamie Lynn: This episode is special to me because Gwen Tatera is my mother.

My mom’s courage to talk about her journey and recovery from OCD feels like a healing balm.
