Self-Compassion
Twelve short statements about how you treat yourself when things hurt. Most of us rarely bring to ourselves the gentleness we'd offer a close friend.
Self-compassion isn't self-pity or letting yourself off the hook. It's three things at once: kindness to yourself instead of harsh criticism, remembering that struggle is part of being human, and the ability to be with your feelings without drowning in them. Research shows that people with higher self-compassion report less anxiety and depression, more resilience, and more willingness to try new things. Short test, deep questions.
Take the testSelf-Compassion Scale - Short Form (Raes, Pommier, Neff, Van Gucht, 2011). This is a self-report, not a diagnosis. Self-compassion is a skill you can practice at any age.
