MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF SIYAN CCBHC | AUGUST 2023

Recovery can sometimes feel like a battle with your own reflection. Too often, we find ourselves trapped in a storm of self-criticism and remorse, struggling to show ourselves the same kindness we freely give to others.

Yet, amid these internal struggles, there's an often overlooked ally - self-compassion.

The concept of self-compassion might seem foreign, or even mistaken for an easy excuse for past errors. But it's not. It's a necessary tool to accept, learn, and bravely step forward again.

Let's together explore this gentle power that paves the path toward true healing.

UNDERSTANDING SELF-COMPASSION

At its core, self-compassion is kindness directed inwards. It’s treating ourselves with the same empathy, understanding, and patience that we typically extend to others when they're going through tough times.

It involves treating yourself with the same understanding and empathy you would offer to others in distress.

Self-compassion is a fundamental part of emotional well-being and resilience, especially in the face of challenges like overcoming opioid use disorder.

According to Dr. Kristin Neff, key elements of self-compassion include:

Adolescent Therapy

Adolescents have many pressures coming from society today, from friends, social media, school and more. At times, these pressures can become overwhelming and lead to adolescents' experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety or depression.

Siyan Clinical is here to help support your teens through this time and help find resolution to support both your teen and you.

Ages: 12 to 17.
