Join Dr. Kristin Neff for a lively discussion about what it means to be a compassionate mess! It's okay. Our hosts Dr. Kristina Hallett and Kristin Sunanta Walker jump in to ask questions about what self-compassion really means especially in today's world.
Kristin Neff got her Ph.D. in 1997 at UC Berkeley, studying moral development. She is currently an Associate Professor in Human Development at the University of Texas at Austin.
During Kristin's last year of graduate school she became interested in Buddhism, and has been practicing meditation in the Insight tradition ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion - a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically. In addition to her pioneering research into self-compassion, she has developed an 8-week program to teach self-compassion skills. The program, co-created with her colleague Chris Germer, is called Mindful Self-Compassion.

"I am just like a naked barbie doll, waiting to see what outfit I will be dressed in each day, dressed by another hand."
Barbie has her outfits like nurse barbie, horse riding barbie, dancing barbie and everything in between. This is Bipolar Barbie in the mental health world.

Nanci Danison joins us to talk about the day she died. That's right. The day she died and what she learned from the experience.
She died March 14, 1994, at the age of 43, but voluntarily returned to human life to share what she could remember of the wonders she experienced and truths she learned in the afterlife. At the time of her death, she had been an attorney practicing law in a 270 attorney regional law firm for 17 years as a litigator in the labor and employment law areas, and as a transactional and health care fraud defense lawyer in the health law field. She brought her training and skills as a trial lawyer to the evidence she encountered and challenged within the afterlife.
"Nancy brings the credibility of a trial lawyer, highly trained to evaluate evidence, to her account of the answers to our most pressing spiritual questions: What is God? Who am I? What is the purpose of this life? What happens when we die? . . . She
observed this near-death experience with the detachment of a jurist. That jury of one found no evidence to support the traditional religious model of 'heaven.' Instead, the reality she experienced was much more intricate and fulfilling. It felt like returning to a very different but familiar culture." -- June Milligan, M.Ed., CCHt, Healthy Beginnings Magazine (Sept. 2012).
