Negative Self-Talk and Self-Compassion
Negative Self-Talk
Do people you care about call you a perfectionist? Are you constantly criticizing yourself because you feel like you don’t measure up to your own expectations? Do you constantly second-guess yourself? Do you feel inadequate? Do you find it easy to point out your flaws but next to impossible to identify your strengths?
This is the result of negative self-talk.
Self-Compassion
Let me make one thing crystal clear: negative self-talk isn’t effectively countered with a “can do!” attitude. Self-compassion is about finding a realistic view of who you are, learning to accept imperfections, and honestly identify strengths. I can help you develop mindfulness skills that allow you see yourself - strengths and flaws alike - with a newfound clarity. I can help you to talk to yourself with kindness and compassion and to express gratitude, incorporating these intentional practices into your daily routine.
