I learned again that when I am disturbed about someone’s behavior, I need to look at what their vulnerabilities are and why are behaving as they are. The idea of compassion for both myself and others really resonated.
Thank you Tara;
beliefs we hold often guide us daily & so a practice such as this can help us examine our long-held beliefs & find the courage to shift our perspective; it takes practice of-course. Softening our hearts with self-compassion is key. Thank you.

I have gained so much relief and insight from these 3 videos. Thank you, Tara.?? The U-turn brought me to a place of understanding, compassion and forgiveness for an estranged family relationship. I am grateful to finally begin releasing a huge burden of blame toward that person for their hateful and abusive treatment of me, but I am unwilling to be in life together again, as I find their presence to be dangerous to me and my partner, physically, emotionally and mentally. My answers to “Who will I be if I can let go of blaming them?” are that I will be a woman of true peace in spite of old wounds; a free spirit with no burden on my heart, free to love myself unconditionally. Thank you so much.
I would be a free person if I let go of self judgment and chronically blaming myself most of the time like I do. It will be a great state of mind which I definitely will enjoy and it will give me experience of true happiness , I believe. Tara brach, you are a healer..
After following the practice it brought up feelings of sadness and helplessness, that the relationship has been irrevocably damaged but that I accept my part in it too
I want my relationship to improve with my mother. Its hard to let go and not hold on to deep seated resentment. This is the beginning, allowing to let go. Thank you Tara x

This is so profound, and helpful… And difficult to do. I work with people +found it moving and hugely valuable for my own journey as well as for my work with others.
Thank You.
I was really moved by these three videos – it is almost like I never knew how to be self-compassionate even though compassion is something I apply every day. But towards others, not myself. Thank you for reminding me and us that it is a necessity to be kind to ourselves.
If I can let go of judgment toward myself I would have a lighter spirit and less physical pain. It’s a challenge that has become so ingrained. I hope to improve my capacity for compassion.
Thank you for these wonderful videos! If I could let go of blame and self judgement I think I would be much more at peace, a much better parent, clinician and human being generally. A heartfelt thank you Tara for the wisdom you sharing.
This was lovely and such an insight, but it also reminded me that I did so much of this work years ago and I had forgotten how much I had moved on and let go of my deep wounds and that I, only earlier today, had begun to practice this with my husband for the first time, to not criticise him for something. So the timing of listening to his was so apt.
I have already purchased your book, but haven’t yet got around to opening it, however, I think everyone can see what a wonderful therapist you truly are.
I made so many mistakes raising my children as a single parent. I’ve judged myself harshly for this especially in moments when they share their stories (e.g. emotional neglect). I choose “love”, self-love to move forward with. I imagined the cloud of guilt/shame disappeared. Thank you.
I love the way Tara interconnect ideas or concepts with practices, in all the tree videos. I appreciate her facilitation skills and her own inner practice that make it easy to trust and follow her. Deep appreciation for her work and its impact in my own inner work.
Id feel lighter, less weighed down and have more energy and optimism for my life now. Id feel more compassion toward my partner when he unintentially hurts my feelings- he too has a leg in a trap.
Thank you Tara.

Thank you for this concept of the U turn, and of seeing vulnerability in the other person, and for the words, “It’s okay to feel this.” My biggest struggle is to trust my own voice when I try to turn compassion toward myself. Practice needed.
I would feel liberated from the shackles of self criticism and victim consciousness. At peace with who I am and have forgiveness and acceptance of myself and all those around me.
Ahh, free to be that person imagined inside.So much time. I’d not have the excuse of deficiency to hold me back. Wow, exciting, alluring and terrifying.
Who would I be if I let go of judgement and chronic blame?. The first thing that came to mind was, I would be free from the many years of not practicing self compassion, and not living my best life. Thank you

The u-turn practice was so enlightening and I felt quite sad towards my mother to whom I feel a lot of anger. Thank you ?♀️
I would let go of my father inside…and make space for myself
Thank you!
Love me
Better person
I would feel less afraid.
Thank you for these videos. I believe that to be able to take the u-turn is extremely important both for myself and for others that I work with.
I would be more compassionate toward myself and others. I think I would be closer to my ideal self – someone who is kind, generous and authentic.

I would be free from a lifetime of living small , always afraid to take the next step…

A freer version of myself.
A different version of myself—more open to my self and others

Thank you for the videos and the simple, effective ways of tuning in with compassion.
Wonderful presentation. I found the meditation helpful and a great way of practicing self compassion.
Thankyou for helping me to see the trap on my leg and that of others
I’d be a much more present, focused and productive individual.
I can think of my hurt self but when I do the U turn I can only wonder what my faults were that kept my mom from loving me.
Loved this exercise .. be careful how you judge others .. so many hidden secrets ! Thank you

I would feel much better

Be of more service to self and others, increased creativity
If I let go of judment & chronic blame, I would be able to act from a space of wisdom and kindness.
I would be more open-hearted and compassionate with others and myself
Id feel lighter, less weighed down and have more energy and optimism for my life now. Id feel more compassion toward my partner when he unintentially hurts my feelings- he too has a leg in a trap.

I would love myself and extend the compassion that I seem to so easily extend to others.
I would be a more peaceful and joyous being.
I would feel liberated from the shackles of self criticism and victim consciousness. At peace with who I am and have forgiveness and acceptance of myself and all those around me.
Loved your structured practices. Such a gift to have tried and true steps toward developing a more compassionate heart! Thank you.
Thank you so much. Just this little demonstration was amazing.
I have struggled with judgment for many years. Thank you for your gentle teachings, I look forward to more.

Complete. Integrated. A good mom and friend.
