"Before self-compassion I had depression, negative body image, perfectionism and a fierce self-critic who kept me in line. Since learning the practices 12 years ago I no longer have depression, I feel great about myself and have so much more joy. I know how to give myself what I need when I'm suffering. My relationships are much better. I left a 25-year marriage that was abusive and now am in a wonderful relationship with a loving, supportive partner who also practices self-compassion. I'm also a breast cancer survivor and found self-compassion to be invaluable during my treatment." -Ellen A.
