Breaking the Habit Loop with Self-Compassion
Have you ever wondered why the same self-improvement cycles keep repeating in your life? You make a resolution, stick with it for a while, then find yourself back where you started-perhaps feeling worse than before. The Kindness Method offers a revolutionary alternative to this familiar pattern of failure. Born in addiction treatment centers and recovery groups, this approach flips conventional wisdom on its head: lasting change comes not through harsh self-discipline, but through radical self-compassion. The method emerged from Shahroo Izadi's unique combination of professional addiction treatment expertise and her personal journey of maintaining an eight-stone weight loss after decades of struggling. What makes this approach different? It starts by recognizing that you already possess the wisdom needed for change-you just need a framework to access it.
