Self-compassion works so much better than being rude to yourself.

But PLEASE give it a try.
Talk to yourself like you would talk to a good friend.
Try it!

He didn’t seem to understand. Perhaps this was a language barrier, but I think instead the child had very little experience with #communication #therapy. I put away the talk I was working on and asked if I could try something. He nodded…” bit.ly/2ktfe4V
