I'm in a mental health program, and we recently discussed self-compassion, and this film nails that concept and with humor.

The message of this brilliant video is still on my mind 24 hours after watching it. Fantastic job of conveying compassion to one's self - at all our stages of life.

I watched this with my partner. Very moving. The last part where Emo Ruby enters is class too 😂

[@dawnatkinson7704]

Stephen Fry you mean?

[@dawnatkinson7704]

Its been like this for me every night for the past 9 years. Unfortunately i havent been able to master accepting myself.

[@user-ff8on4jf3m]

I love sleeping 💖

[@MVCvevasI]

We do use too much technology, in my case: fan (or AC), CPAP, Alexa Nightsounds, maybe a podcast…

[@melaniekeeling7462]

Why is it a human voice lulls us to sleep?

[@MVCvevasI]

@@melaniekeeling7462 I guess it gives you a feeling of security, has to be an evolutionary thing.

[@vardanyanser]

If you are familiar with internal family systems therapy you will understand this movie.

[@Chrissyteena]
