Hard on yourself but kind to others?

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Most of us struggle with some form of self-criticism.

While challenging, developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself can be very meaningful work. Therapy is a safe space to discuss they way you feel about yourself and to explore the possibility of relating to yourself in a more mindful and compassionate way. You can explore different ways that your inner critic has shown up in your life, as well as how it continues to impact you today.

There are a variety of self-compassion practices, such as journaling and mindfulness, that can help you respond to your inner critic in a new way. With practice, you can begin to show yourself the same kindness that you show to others in your day-to-day life and relationships.
