One of the key insights from the fifth session of the "Mastering Your Resourceful Brain" course was the importance of self-empathy. As instructor Mitch Weisburgh explained, self-empathy is a crucial part of self-acceptance - recognizing that the parts of ourselves we often try to hide or are ashamed of have actually played a role in our growth and development.
