I highlight the link between self-compassion and positive emotions like joy and pride, and address common defense mechanisms like self-criticism that hinder self-compassion practices. Viewers may experience resistance and strange reactions during self-compassion exercises, but it&apos;s important to acknowledge and work through these feelings.</description></oembed>
