Kristin Neff question: What Are the Ways Backdraft Can Manifest as Sorrow During Practice?

In this clip, Dr. Kristin Neff discusses how “backdraft” can arise during self-compassion practice. She explains that when we begin opening our hearts, previously suppressed pain can surface—often as deep sorrow, grief, or unexpected tears. Rather than seeing this as a setback, Kristin reframes it as a natural and meaningful part of healing, while emphasizing the importance of pacing and emotional safety. #SelfCompassion #Backdraft #KristinNeff #EmotionalHealing #MindfulSelfCompassion #traumarecovery ====== HELPFUL RESOURCES Join the Self-Compassion Community: https://tinyurl.com/self-compassion-c...
