Practice Self-compassion-Self-Compassion Resource

Example

Recognizing self-critical thoughts and patterns.

Scenario

A user reflects on a recent situation where they felt inadequate, such as a mistake at work, identifying the harsh self-talk that ensued ('I'm so incompetent'). Through guided exercises, they learn to notice and label these thoughts as the inner critic's voice.

Example

Creating a supportive internal ally.

Scenario

After identifying self-critical thoughts, users are guided to imagine what a compassionate friend would say in response to their situation ('Everyone makes mistakes; what matters is learning from them'). This practice helps shift the internal dialogue towards kindness and understanding.

Example

Connecting personal experiences with broader human experiences.

Scenario

Users practice mindfulness to stay present with their emotions without over-identifying with them, and exercises that highlight common humanity help users realize they are not alone in their struggles ('Many people feel this way; it's part of being human').

Example

Integrating self-compassion practices into everyday situations.

Scenario

Users are encouraged to apply self-compassion techniques in real time, such as using gentle self-talk during stressful moments or when facing failure, thereby fostering resilience and a more positive self-relationship.
