Our lab enjoyed an engaging talk by keynote speaker Dr. Julian A. Scheffer from #WesternU at the 2025 #UWaterloo Psychology Discovery Conference! He provided clear distinctions between compassion and empathy, and discussed how #Compassion is less costly than #Empathy.
We are hardwired to need compassion, yet treating ourselves with compassion can be challenging, strange, and awkward.
We developed a free #CompassionateME survival guide to help youth develop #SelfCompassion.

Meet (most of) the members of the Self-Attiudes Lab @uwaterloopsych.bsky.social this semester! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful team of #Researchers.
Thank you @abctnow.bsky.social for a wonderful conference and the opportunity to present work done by Dr. Allison Kelly and myself. It was great to chat with others about intervening with #self-criticism with brief #cognitive and #compassion-focused interventions!
