Building Greater Self-Compassion (for Teens) - with Karen Bluth

In today's society filled with constant pressures and high expectations, teens are increasingly feeling the negative impacts resulting not only in higher anxiety, depression and loneliness, but also greater self-judgement and lower self-worth. At the root of solving all this is self-compassion.

Karen Bluth, PhD, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, a mindfulness practitioner for over 40 years, teacher and educator, shares insights on self-compassion for teens, what it is and how young people can leverage the core elements of self-compassion for greater self-esteem, self-care, and happiness.
