If I could let go of judgement and blame I would be filled with lightness and space. Space to live my life more fully, with more appreciation, love and peace. I would be a better sister, wife, aunt and friend.
Thank you Tara.
It couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I had a bad experience of almost walking out of my marriage. Under the influence of alcohol my husband verbally reduced me to a crumb. I forgot who I actually am and after several hours of tolerating I lost it.
I can’t thank you for this insight into self compassion. I will strive to get the balance right.I was so distraught that I was blind at that time. I am working towards a happy medium.
Once again appreciate Been following you for a decade.

I do feel that my own feeling of unworthiness affects myself and people around me. The habit of feeling and thinking is very strong but I hope I can change slowly.
If I could let go of judgement and blame …… I’d be afraid of losing that protective shell. I’d be vulnerable …. but maybe I’d feel more calm and more content. Maybe I’d be the me I used to be. Maybe.
Have just started working with felons in Alabama who are treated so badly by Parole Board that the feds have once again had to come into the state to insist they address the issue. It is a restore the vote program with League of Women Voters. Did not occur to me at the time but the LWV women treat these people with such compassion that it is a lesson for myself as well in trying to forgive myself. So an opportunity for redemption as well.
Calmer more accepting lighter human. In a happier relationship with myself and those around me…
My colours would be brighter… not holding guilt and self righteousness.
Thank you so much for sharing these steps for healing anger and unworthiness. I didn’t know how self righeous and controlling I have been. This is going to help bring more colpassion and love and harmony into my life and for my family. It’s frightening how much gets bottled up inside and we are not aware and we go on hurting others and ourselves unnecessarily. Together we can make a difference in the consciousness of this planet.
Sitting with the judgement and blame, and understanding where it comes from, then allows me to let it go. My heart feels softened, and I can feel forgiveness for myself, and the person who brought the judgement up in me.
I’d be more aware of my own vulnerability and others at more subtle levels and in challenging situations
This awareness might support me in being more cautious and discerning around when and with whom it is safe to share the deeper levels of my own experience. When others are caught up in their own pain they are not available – lots of people are caught in a trap and I get hurt if I am blind to their traps
If I let go of blame and anger,I become much more creative to my solutions.
Extreme pressure and heat can be a birth for a diamond.Keep the space open and clear.
A friend of twenty five years hurt me very much when she wrote to me telling me about all the things I had done or said going back years that she couldn’t accept. The shock is so profound that I haven’t been able to even think about how I deal with it, save parking it and pretending it never happened. The shame has been immense and I feel embarrassed too.. However listening to your talk has made me see a glimmer of compassion for her.. it’s a very powerful image, seeing the leg trapped and the pain it must be… so Thankyou, also accepting and feeling compassion for me and gently accepting my shame and fear around her words..
I would be a much happier and more at peace. With no expectation of what anyone else must do or change in order for me to be happy or not feel upset/frustrated or angry.
I would be filled with compassion and love for the challenges all of us face each and everyday to balance our needs against that of the family, community etc.
Thank you so much dear Tara and : yes! The whole world could make a U Turn – and I try to start right from my point.
If only the others…..I struggle with the judgement and anger of my ex. I was able to let go (more or less) the past, but I’ m regularly confronted with his. I would love to live in freedom with him – Forchheim sake if our two kids. Any ideas? You can probably not answer to every question, it helps already a little to leave ist here. Thanks so much for your work! Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
Less inner monologue-torment. I would hope to build resilience to stay in the light. Remain firmly outside of the dark thoughts, the strange gripping cloud of loathing and fear that hovers when I neglect self care.
I would be a glowing attraction for the suffering . that sounds arrogant but I have experienced it and can see rgedufferenxe between my ego and the essence..this practice you shared enabled me to recognize more clearly the ways in which I transmit blame for my defensive mechanisms which keeps me from recognizing the vulnerability in the person I’m fighting back at. it is relieving.
