Includes the biology of self-criticism as a cortisol stressor, the negativity bias, boundary research and perceived time control, the PLOS Medicine meta-analysis on social connection and survival, the Stanford physiological sigh research, box breathing and HRV, MBSR outcomes, the client story about inner voice and depletion, and the four-step self care blueprint. </p><p><br></p><p>Happy listening! </p><p><br></p>
