As part of our "Season of You-le" series, the lovely Christopher Shen joins me from across the globe to talk about self-compassion, mental toughness, machismo, and more. Christopher is a psychologist in Melbourne who works with athletes and construction employees to manage their emotions and build resilience. He is also a badass himself, as a former wrestler and mixed martial artist.
We start by a review of the study "Can athletes be tough yet compassionate to themselves?," which shares even more data about the benefits of self-compassion. We then discuss Christopher's book, Wrestling with Resiliency and Mental Toughness, and the complicated concept of control.
