1 What is self-compassion in MI?

Self-compassion in MI is the attitude and practice of being gentle and supportive with yourself, regardless of the outcome of your behavior change efforts.

2 Why is self-compassion important in MI?

Self-compassion is an important factor in MI as it can help overcome some of the common barriers to change, such as ambivalence, resistance, or relapse. With self-compassion, you can explore your reasons for change and readiness without feeling pressured or coerced. Additionally, you can express your feelings and needs without shame or guilt. Self-compassion also allows you to identify and address obstacles and challenges without feeling overwhelmed or hopeless. Furthermore, it helps you recognize your achievements and progress without arrogance or complacency. And if there are setbacks or lapses, you can recover without feeling discouraged or defeated.

Self-compassion also improves the relationship between the practitioner and client by fostering trust, empathy, and respect. When both parties are self-compassionate, they are likely to communicate better, listen actively, and collaborate constructively.

Self-compassion gives you the power to accept yourself without needing to justify and defend. Once you accept the truth about yourself, you release the energy that was otherwise spent in defending and protecting your self. You can now channelise these energies to build more authenticity in the process of becoming a better, more Courageous you over a period of time.

3 How can you practice self-compassion in MI?

In MI, there are many ways to practice self-compassion. Here are some simple and effective strategies to use in your sessions: Utilize affirmations and positive self-talk to remind yourself of your strengths, values, and goals, and praise yourself for your efforts and achievements. Replace negative thoughts with more supportive and encouraging ones. Mindfulness and breathing techniques can be used to pay attention to your present moment experience without judging or reacting to it. Notice your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses, and accept them as they are. Additionally, use self-care and coping skills to take care of your physical, emotional, mental, and social needs. Seek support from others who can understand and help you. Use healthy and adaptive ways to cope with stress and challenges such as problem-solving, humor, or hobbies. Lastly, practice compassion-focused exercises such as imagining how you would treat a friend in the same situation or writing a letter expressing kindness, understanding, and acceptance. Also remember to be grateful for yourself and others.

I have found it helpful to maintain a gratitude journal where I write on a daily basis all the good and helpful things that I experienced during the day, even the smallest ones such as being able to connect with a phone number at the first attempt. I also pay attention to how I may use apparent adversities to cultivate qualities that will make me more better.
