How to practice self-compassion - with Dr Emily Musgrove
June 17, 2025 · 52 min

Dr Emily Musgrove is a clinical psychologist and the resident psychologist on one of our favourite podcasts - The Imperfects. Dr Em has just published her first book ‘Unstuck’ and we were so excited to have her in studio to talk about it!

Laura sits down with Dr Em to speak through what it means to be unstuck, avoidance, the inner critic, self-compassion, why treating ourselves with self-compassion doesn’t mean we’re being lazy, rumination and people pleasing.
