Have you ever tried to be kinder to yourself, and ended up feeling worse instead of better?
In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson unpacks "backdraft", a term borrowed from firefighting that explains why self-compassion can sometimes trigger anxiety, grief, or resistance instead of relief. She breaks down why this happens, what it means about your nervous system's old protective patterns, and how to practice kindness in a way your body can actually receive.
