If you ask me, this field is an extremely important part of a healing journey, for me was through therapy session (which we get here super thankful, for free, along with other revisions 
); from all those times I cried buckets per hypnotherapy while releasing, I always come out brand new, with fresh perspectives 
Both my hypnotherapist and friendly-like-my-grandmother psychic medium said, I have to be compassionate with myself (as a reminder, even had to write it down on my bottled water 
).
Most of the time, it’s easy to be self-critic, super harsh on ourselves, to which our self-esteem suffers. Constant self-judgment, leading to resentment, throwing in all the negative self-talk, self-blame especially when facing difficulties, challenging times, or not feeling worthy or accepted.
Without self-compassion, setbacks and failures can feel devastating rather than opportunities for growth. Lack of resilience can lead to avoidance of challenges and a fear of taking risks; which also leads to

avoiding pursuing new opportunities, relationship, etc for fear of failure or criticism.
↓↓
This can lead to stagnation and a reluctance to step out of one’s comfort zone.
Then may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance abuse, overeating, or self-harm to numb or escape from painful emotions, avoidance of others etc
And as we know, these unprocessed intense emotions, chronic stress resulting from self-criticism and lack of self-compassion, etc can manifest in physical health issues : insomnia, digestive problems, weakened immune function to name a few…
With the above examples, turning all those into benefits of being compassionately accepting and understanding of oneself :
⦿ Having a healthier self-image and confidence in one’s abilities (this highly emphasises growth mindset)
⦿ Having a sense of inner peace and emotional stability
⦿ Leads to better and healthier choices, prioritising self-care, well being, balanced diet, exercise, etc
⦿ That ‘can do’ attitude is fostered; encourages self-improvement
⦿ When you accept and understand yourself, you become more authentic in your interactions
⦿ More attuned to own’s emotions which then extends to increased empathy to others, can better relate with them
⦿ Bouncing back from setbacks with greater resilience → more inclination to learn from experiences, have that intrinsic motivation
⦿ Most of all, leads to deeper sense of connection with oneself
For sure there are lots more, happy to unpack a few
