If only we all could find this humane treatment of of ourselves:
“I even began to see myself as that close friend, worthy and deserving of my love. Someone I could champion in his good moments, comfort in hard times, and hold accountable because I knew he could make mistakes but had a good core and was always capable of being better.”
This resonated with me and was beautifully written. So true that it's not about will power. Talking to ourselves as we would a close friend is easier said than done, but I think you just walked us through it.

Very well said.

Thank you! And yeah, way easier said than done.
Thanks, Patrick, for sharing this. It hits home. I’ll have to try this out on myself.
Thank you Nate! Hope giving it a try works out for you.
