Excellent post Lauren - so much to unpack and think about. Self-compassion is so hard to put into practice isn’t it?! I tell my friends to “talk to themselves the way they’d talk to their best friend” but I can’t do this myself. Journaling does work for me to some extent - mainly because I’m emptying those thoughts from my mind onto paper, still work to do. Think I’ll come back for another read of this later!
