Fierce self-compassion is about taking action to alleviate suffering—whether it’s setting boundaries, protecting ourselves, or motivating change. In this video, Dr. Kristin Neff explains how fierce and tender self-compassion work together to create balance and well-being.
While tender self-compassion helps us accept and soothe ourselves with kindness, fierce self-compassion empowers us to stand up for our needs, say no when necessary, and make positive changes in our lives. Both energies are essential, and when integrated, they form a powerful caring force that can transform not just our own lives, but the world around us.
