This audio series was developed by the clinical psychology team at the Royal Women’s Hospital. We invite you to listen and grow your skills in calming, soothing and self-compassion.
Overview
All health challenges have an emotional impact. So, it can be helpful to build our skills in calming and soothing ourselves, as well as increasing our sense of self-compassion.
These guided exercises are designed to support you in doing this. We recommend you use them as part of a regular practice of making time for yourself.
Also available: Pregnancy mindfulness audio series.
Support is available - if you are experiencing a crisis, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Triple Zero (000).
