Title: Self compassion
| 1427
I have found compassion focused therapy and mindful self compassion extremely helpful in a way that other approaches hadn't been before for me. It has turned my outlook on myself, others and mental health upside-down. There's a very old text called "Desiderata" that I have a favourite quote from. As a human being you deserve compassion (in the truest sense of the word, which involves taking responsibility for your actions, courage and warmth), and you don't have to do anything to earn it.
