Dr Amber Mosewich is an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta, Canada. In this exclusive interview with Dr Paul Mansell and Dr Katie Sparks, Amber explains the role of self-compassion in wellbeing and performance in sport. Amber is one of the world's leading experts in this growing and evidence-based field, and the content that she shares also shines a light on how we might utilise self-compassion theory and strategies as a part of our daily lives.
In particular, Amber describes the three pillars of self-compassion and offers an explanation as to how self-criticism can be detrimental to wellbeing and performance. Amber provides some thoughts as how quickly self-compassion skills can develop and on why scepticism may exist towards self-compassion. We also discuss how organisations can promote a self-compassionate culture.
