Summary
Self-attack is something many of us have often done to ourselves.
We live in a world that programs and conditions us to attack ourselves in many different ways; to live in a perpetual mode of self-judgment, self-betrayal, self-criticism... diminishing who we are and our inherent value.
Living in this kind of state is draining, exhausting, and it keeps you separate from your Higher, Divine Self.
Join me for a discussion of:
- common ways in which self-attack can manifest in everyday life
- how self-attack can show up in your spiritual practices and spiritual path
- the damaging and Soul-draining effects of self-attack
- how can you begin letting go of self-attack and shift into self-empathy?
- what is self-empathy and how can you apply it in daily life?
- how self-empathy requires you to show up for yourself in deeper, more authentic ways
- the healing effects of self-empathy on your self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love

| 1:30.3 | So our topic for today is shifting from self-attack to self-empathy. |
| 1:39.3 | So let's start with self-attack, which is something many of us have often done to ourselves. |
| 1:47.5 | And in fact, we live in a culture, in a society, in a world that in so many ways conditions |
| 1:54.5 | us and teaches us to attack ourselves, to live in a perpetual mode of self-judgment, self-betrayal, self-criticism, |
| 2:06.2 | and really diminishing who we are, as well as our value as both human beings and as divine beings. |
| 2:17.0 | So all of these things I just mentioned, such as self-betrayal and minimizing your own worth, |
| 2:25.3 | are different forms of self-attack. |
| 2:28.0 | Some of these are more obvious than others, but we also sometimes can live our entire lives attacking ourselves in |
| 2:40.6 | subtle and really insidious ways. So there are both these really overt forms of self-attack |
| 2:48.1 | that we can use against ourselves and sometimes in really insidious |
