Self-compassion is healthy self-love; it keeps love with others flowing.
Can you love yourself without tipping into selfishness or narcissism? Dr. Christian Heim tackles this delicate balance in his podcast episode 'What is Self Love?'. With a blend of science, compassion, and his signature Australian humor, Dr. Heim breaks down the difference between healthy self-love and its unhealthy counterpart, narcissism. He emphasizes that while a bit of selfishness is natural, narcissism cuts us off from meaningful connections with others.
Instead, he advocates for self-compassion as a healthier form of self-love that keeps the flow of love and empathy with others alive. Dr. Heim doesn't shy away from tough questions. What if you don't even like yourself? How can you cultivate self-love in a society driven by consumerism and hyper-individualism? He provides practical tips to help you develop self-compassion, which can improve your relationships and overall mental health.
Whether you're grappling with forgiving yourself or others, or simply seeking to enhance your relationship with yourself, this episode offers valuable insights. Dr. Heim reminds us that 'you are a human being, just like everybody else', and that embracing self-compassion can unlock a wellspring of love available to all. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of how to love yourself in ways that enrich your life and those around you.
