Each and every week we end by reminding you to take a quiet moment to yourself and show yourself some love, so it should come as no surprise that self-compassion is big in our book. After being told that you were born into sin and that your every thought should be held captive it makes sense that self-criticism and self-flagellation are part and parcel of our culture, something new research suggests compassion based therapies can do something about.

This week Licensed Professional Counselor Callye Lawrence joins the show to teach Christy how self-compassion can help us better connect to our partners, our lovers and ourselves. Mindful Self-Compassion, your calls and questions and what’s turning us on this week on SecX!
