Compassionate Acceptance and Understanding (Patreon)

Truly needed, deeply thankful Captain

By accepting past feelings without harsh judgment, you reduce the intensity of negative self-talk and self-blame. Understanding that everyone makes mistakes and experiences loss can help you view these experiences as part of your growth rather than as defining flaws.

Reminds me …

@ecaiii

in one of my therapy sessions when I had to go through the same process, I had to accept those feelings.

Also had to say something in the lines of:
Even though I feel this way (any feeling) I still love and accept myself fully and completely

Acceptance means making room for painful emotions, sensations, and feelings. It involves opening up and allowing the emotions to be, rather than fighting, resisting, running from, or getting overwhelmed by them. A kind of gateway to compassion for oneself and for others.
