Kristen Neff defines self-compassion as a construct with three components: self-kindness, a sense of common humanity, and mindfulness, emphasizing care over criticism.
Research indicates that self-compassion significantly influences relationship dynamics, leading to healthier interactions, greater conflict management, and improved emotional regulation.
Neff highlights that self-compassion fosters connection rather than isolation, stating that a compassionate attitude toward oneself prevents the false separation from humanity.
Individuals with high self-compassion exhibit lower verbal aggression and controlling behaviors, contributing to overall relationship satisfaction and better conflict resolution.
