  • When Weiyang Xie first came to the United States as an international student, she was excited to pursue her dreams, yet filled with overwhelming insecurity and anxiety. In her journey to becoming a psychologist, she dared to be vulnerable and face her fears and shame head-on. These have turned out to be Weiyang’s most helpful resources in overcoming challenges. In this talk, she will share her ingredients of self-compassion that can help audience members overcome shame in their own lives, empower them to take risks, and lead them to self-empowerment and authentic living. Staff Psychologist, University Counseling Center at the University of Notre Dame This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    She was my therapist. She really helped me understand my depression. The kindness and compassion she showed me was a model for how I should treat myself. Thank you Dr Xie.

      God, the Lord Jesus Christ loves you! Restore your relationship with God by repenting of your sins and putting your faith in Jesus Christ, "... that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

    Excellent! I love when she says, "Having flaws simply means you're normal." I also love how she compares learning self-compassionate talk to that of learning a foreign language - "We wouldn't know how to speak a new language just by simply acknowledging it exists, right?" It is an ongoing practice.

    Negative > Positive
    Replace each negative thought with positive ones.
    It takes time to form new neurological pathways.
    It is completely necessary that you do this for the prosperity of yourself and others.
    Have a nice day. Form those pathways!!

    I view the research and education around self-compassion to be truly heroic work. There is nothing that is more relevant or healing for us today, particularly in Western culture. This is a beautiful, superbly structured and delivered talk. On a personal note, I liked how you embedded a little cultural satire by inverting the Dalai Lama's quote about how to make ourselves and others happy (debilitating ourselves and others by practicing shame, rather than compassion). On a superficial note - "phenomenon" vs. "phenomena" - thank you for getting it right, whereas so many PhD's get it wrong. Not that we would want to shame them for it. =) Thank you.

    Thank you, Dr Xie! I've struggled with self-hatred for about 10 years, and only recently started figuring this all out for myself. Then I was taking to my therapist about it, and she instantly recommended this video to me. It's good to hear you put it so well, and to know even someone as successful as you is still learning it. 🥰🥰🥰

    The list could go on. How do we stop this? How to stop the shame.
    Hey, I love you just for you. I love you for existing.
    You are worthy because you are here on this Earth.
    May you go & show others compassion also. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏻😘

    I have a question: I found a lot of mental health issues develop either as internalization or defense mechanism against the sh*t humans say or do to each other. Human beings as a species is just horrible. How do we take care of ourselves in an increasingly toxic world? How can we practice self-compassion when all we receive from others are judgment and abuse, often for things we have no control over like appearances or race?

    • @X3000Chan
      @X3000Chan 3 года назад +5

      Look up the ancient practical philosophy of Stoicism. It began in Ancient Greece and was re-popularized several hundred years later in Ancient Rome. It's helpful enough in the daily lives of human beings; that many U.S. presidents such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were known to have read translations of Stoic works, and it's gone on to become again re-popularized in the modern day.
      The Roman Stoic philosopher Epictetus said (basically - I Amy be leaving some out) that there are things that are up to us and things that are not up to us. The things that are up to us, all come from within us. They are our own thoughts, words, actions, ideas, and opinions. The things that are not up to us, are the thoughts, words, actions, ideas, and opinions of other people, as well as (ultimately) our health, reputation; success, and misfortune. Now, those last 4 (and other similar things), we do have some influence over, so we have partial control over those, but not entire control. We have to use what is entirely in our control (our own thoughts, words, actions, ideas, and opinions) as best we can to play whatever cards we are dealt in life, or rather, whatever circumstances or situations arise.
      The big thing that gets people really worked up and stressed out and angry, for the most part, always seems to be this constant struggle with their inability to control what they can not control - what comes from within another person. We can not control that which comes from another, we can only control our own reaction to those things.
      These ideas, and Stoic philosophy in general, is the basis for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is extremely effective talk therapy developed in modern day psychology and used to help a laundry list of mental issues and handicaps, from ADHD to depression to PTSD, to anxiety, to disorders, and on and on.
      There is lots of information and lots of channels on RUclips about Stoicism, which will lead you to all of the important Stoic works of the Stoics, which you can buy modern translations of at almost any bookstore or online. :)

      Practicing self-compassion will increase your ability to be compassionate towards others too. You will be able to see their actions - even the bad ones like judgment and abuse - in the context of their own insecurities and their own lack of self-compassion. This will enable you to protect yourself from letting such things get to you and even to put up the right boundaries to remove them from your life if necessary.
      By honing your own skill of self-compassion, you can protect yourself from your own negative thoughts as well as from the influence that other peoples' negativity can have on you. And if something gets to you - which is inevitable and part of the human experience - you can use it as another exercise to practice self-compassion, further strengthening your resilience for the next time you face a similar situation.
      With this understanding you will be able to see every new experience, good or bad, as an opportunity to further grow. You will set a flywheel of compassion in motion, which is what this world desperately needs.

    A person who thinks only about themselves can never be very pleasing to the Supreme Lord. This is actually going against our true spiritual nature. Our eternal function is to render loving service to the Supreme Lord and his children. When we are in harmony with our eternal spiritual function and the desire of the Supreme Lord, then we are in a healthy and happy condition. We will always be kind and compassionate to others.
