The Repeating Self

Again, it would have been easy to beat up on myself: “What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you keep your head together?”

Reflection requires an attunement to the self that is supportive and kind, not a judgmental stance of interrogation and derogation. Reflection is a compassionate state of mind.

Mindsight, Daniel Siegel, 2010.
