Dare to Rewire Your Brain for Self-Compassion | Weiyang Xie | TEDxUND

[LH-mncc]

She was my therapist. She really helped me understand my depression. The kindness and compassion she showed me was a model for how I should treat myself. Thank you Dr Xie.

Excellent! I love when she says, "Having flaws simply means you're normal." I also love how she compares learning self-compassionate talk to that of learning a foreign language - "We wouldn't know how to speak a new language just by simply acknowledging it exists, right?" It is an ongoing practice.

[karalantz]

How does this not have more views, it’s fantastic! Positive self-talk truly is like learning a new language!!

[sarah-amena]

She was so sincere - I appreciate this so much

[Benorth]

Her vulnerability was charming and made her talk very persuasive.

[Graceever]

Whatever you are saying to yourself, you're listening, so be attentive!

[shankerkrishnan]

This is tha absolute truth right here, I was the happiest when I was practising self love and always put myself and needs first, it was so satisfying and fulfilling, time to rewire my brain once again

[presentrlb]

I view the research and education around self-compassion to be truly heroic work. There is nothing that is more relevant or healing for us today, particularly in Western culture. This is a beautiful, superbly structured and delivered talk. On a personal note, I liked how you embedded a little cultural satire by inverting the Dalai Lama's quote about how to make ourselves and others happy (debilitating ourselves and others by practicing shame, rather than compassion). On a superficial note - "phenomenon" vs. "phenomena" - thank you for getting it right, whereas so many PhD's get it wrong. Not that we would want to shame them for it. =) Thank you.

Bless you, you beautiful person. This helped me so much.

Negative > Positive
Replace each negative thought with positive ones.
It takes time to form new neurological pathways.
It is completely necessary that you do this for the prosperity of yourself and others.
Have a nice day. Form those pathways!!

Whatever you are telling yourself, you're listening...Awesome 💯

[katekennelly]

Thank you for your beautiful talk. The difference you laid out between shame and guilt is something I'd never thought of before. This was very illuminating. Thank you for sharing your journey in a way that can help so many other people

Thank you, Dr Xie! I've struggled with self-hatred for about 10 years, and only recently started figuring this all out for myself. Then I was taking to my therapist about it, and she instantly recommended this video to me. It's good to hear you put it so well, and to know even someone as successful as you is still learning it. 🥰🥰🥰

[assie]

very insightful, practical and helpful talk. let us start to practice the new language of self-compassion talk. the world will be better one not only for ourselves but for all....thanks

[amrutagprasad]

There is similar ted talk by Shauna Shapiro ... I have read a book by her called Good morning I love you... It was very insightful and helped me find a measure of self compassion

[DinaLopez_real]

This Dr. really made this topic so much easier to digest. I enjoyed this talk so much. It even made me laugh. So relatable. And definitely trying self-compassion.

[toribrown]

I can relate to a lot of what this woman says. Look to my inner thoughts and feelings and it's really hard to get out of my thought in my mind, but it sure helps to hear that you're not alone in this feeling

[icylcy]

I have a really hard time accepting my mistake but now I see it's okay and just need to work with my new vocabulary

[morikohei]

Absolutely fantastic, compassionate talk.
