I believe that I would be far less anxious if I could let go of judgment and chronic blame. The anxiety I frequently feel interferes with my ability to think clearly and calmly, and I then feel more anxious, and so on. I hope that practising some self-compassion and kindness may give me some peace.
I love the picture you painted of the dog with their leg caught. It’s so difficult to see that when we are scared ourselves. I can feel this will take practise to accept the scared feelings and let go of the judgment so I can become a more loving being, rather than needing to shield myself from danger that is no longer there.
It was Mother’s Day yesterday, here in the UK. I’d organised a family gathering on Zoom, which went well enough – but during the night, the anger, pain and rage in my heart prevented sleep. I could see the tears behind all this ‘buried’ feeling. After years of therapy and spiritual practice, it’s always a painful realisation when these feelings return that I haven’t forgiven. Haven’t moved on from the wounds inflicted over the unconscious years; nor been able to bring sufficient compassion to the empathy which means I feel others’ pain as my own at times. I knew that the person I was hurting the most with these feelings was myself – and that sometimes brings self-judgement. Compassion can elude me in the midst of the pain, but the U-Turn practice was powerful and allowed greater feelings of safety within which to open my heart to the sadness and pain there. And begin to release this. It’s liberating not needing anyone else to change, nor the past to be different… but to meet these painful feelings with compassion and acceptance is a profound act of love and healing
and I can feel the peace that this leads to.
Thank You dear Tara, all blessings to you and your beautiful team.
I would feel so light and free if I could let go of chronic blame and judgement. I am able to see others with their legs caught in a trap which as a therapist is essential, but I had not been able to see that in myself. My logical brain tells me I haven’t’ done anything wrong and loved ones have always looked confused if I judge myself harshly and tell me I am a good person.
My internal critic shows up as a sensation of tightness in my chest and a wordless feeling that I have done something terribly wrong. Placing my hand on my heart does help and your words have made me want to explore this further. Would be so nice if my body could somehow sync with my brain 🙂
I watched all 3 before I got out of bed this morning.. she makes it sound v easy! I am full time unpaid Carer for my partner who has MS Her family do nothing, I feel totally excluded by them with the hard and often v boring role of caring… the anger I carry is unproductive and harmful.. if the practices can support me to work towards being free of the anger that would be great…
Seeing my own vulnerability made me realise what was driving it. Also, understanding the wounds of others eases the pain within me.
I loved the Uturn technique. Thank you ?
I would be a wife and mother and friend who could stop being a chronic caretaker, feeling that if everyone else is okay, I can be okay. Also i will be able to forgive my mother for her abuse and alcoholism.
Thank you Tara. This workshop is really important. The steps so well defined. I’ll keep on practicing. Today I keep: boundaries (protect) x connection (open heart space) = joy (share).

I would be a more generous person because the feeling of being unworthy and rejected by society would disappear so I would engage with more confidence in giving some advices, supports, knowledge, understandings or love
The fear of being judged or unseen is a big obstacle to express in a kind way
How wonderful it was to revisit these areas. I have previously achieved most of the outcomes suggestion from your books that I have purchased. I would like to offer these 3 videos to others to learn what I believe is necessary for them to know and adopt. Your own way of describing is so delicate yet professional, you have a real talent for conveying change and the benefits of the change you project. Thanks once again Tara.
Thank you. I feel very touched. It felt like I was able to heal some of my pain by practising gentle self-compassion. Letting go of blame makes me feel lighter at heart and freer to move forward.
When I let go of blame and self – judgment, I find a deep, boundless, well of self love and forgiveness. I also connect with the my higher self – the person I want to be. This is a homecoming. Many thanks Tara
Beautiful series!! Listen and re-listen to Tara on my daily walks. I’ve followed hers for years. It’s hard for me to express the gift of profound Grace her words have filled me with when I needed it most. She has helped me through much of my deepest grief and loss. Tara is an amazing inspiration for peace, compassion and loving kindness. I am ever so grateful for her beautiful presence, voice and wisdom. The world is a better place with her powerful love and light.
What an interesting step from resentment to self-compassion! Strangely, I had not really recognized that there is a feeling of hurt that fuels resentment. Listening to this video I understood at once that if one can alleviate the pain of hurting, the resentment can disappear. Fascinating! Thank you
I would be my true authentic self.
Thank you for your heart-filled teachings. They are simple and clear and help in making this radical compassion process an easier task…
Dear Tara, thank you for your inspiring talks.
I am already on this path and it’s really wonderful to feel how my heart opens again and again, how my relations became deeper and more compassionate.
There is less time for ruminating and more for compassionate listening and loving speech. I feel a lot of gratitude.

Thank you Tara, nice experience.
I have already let go quite some judgment and blame. There is still a bit of work to do. I believe, I would just be me without fear and feeling free and connected.
Thank you so much for your generosity in offering these three videos which I have found really helpful professionally and personally and feel so important in our world at the moment.

Thank you Tara for your inspiration, motivation and encouragement. Very thought provoking and powerful….yet so gently presented with such grace.

A person who lives more fully moment to moment.

Thank you for these videos, I can see how seeing the vulnerability of the other person is a powerful first step to letting go of deep resentment.
? so good to remember that these two practises are always available. very touching, demanding and releasing.
A lot happier!

Thank you for your 3 video’s. They are very helpful, like to practice some more time with the recordings of the practices.
Hi Tara, it was too hard for me to let go of hurt in the particular situation I chose. I hope that I can learn to do that if only for my own sake.
Thank you
Thank you! This is fantastic!
Great teaching thank you

Helped to me begin to feel the pain of the other person not only think it, as a starting point to finding a real openness towards them.
I can be more active in making the most of my experience in this world
