Self-compassion therapy
You are probably much kinder to other people than you are to yourself. When a friend is struggling, you offer warmth. When you are struggling, you offer a list of everything you should have done differently. Most of us have an inner critic that never quite clocks off — and over time, that voice becomes the background noise of our lives.

Change is rarely simple. Most of us hold two things at once: the genuine desire for something different, and a very understandable resistance to getting there. We want to feel less anxious — but anxiety has also kept us safe. We want to show up differently in our relationships — but old patterns feel familiar, even when they're painful.
