Self-Compassion Letter

A self-compassion letter is a piece of writing addressed to yourself about a current difficulty, written deliberately in the voice you would use for someone you care about.

How it works

The gap between how people address themselves and how they would address a friend in the same position is usually wide and immediately visible once written down. That visibility is the mechanism. The tool gives you the frame and the prompts; the writing is yours, and it is worth keeping.
