Balancing Tender Kindness with Bold Action

  • Proven Benefits

    In daily life, self-compassion involves noticing when we’re having a hard time, and rather than judging and criticizing ourselves, we respond to our pain with care and kindness, just as we would a dear friend. There’s now an impressive and growing body of research demonstrating that relating to ourselves in a kind, friendly manner is essential for emotional wellbeing. And though self-compassion is not often the first response for many of us during moments of personal struggle, this skill can be trained, even for those of us who did not learn it as children.

    Tender self-compassion and fierce self-compassion are two complementary expressions of caring for ourselves.

    In short, tender self-compassion comforts us in our pain, while fierce self-compassion strengthens and mobilizes us to change what is causing the pain.

  • How is Fierce Self-Compassion different?

    Tender self-compassion is the gentle, nurturing response we offer when we are struggling:

    • Meeting our pain with kindness instead of self-judgment
    • Remembering our common humanity rather than feeling isolated
    • Holding our experience in mindful awareness rather than over-identifying with it
    • More soothing and comforting support


    Fierce self-compassion, is the protective and empowering side of compassion.

    • It moves us to take action in the world
    • Teaches us to set firm boundaries with ourself and others
    • It motivates us to protect, provide for, and advocate for ourselves so we can be safe, healthy, and thrive.
