It's important to recognize and validate these feelings, such as guilt or shame, as part of the process. I encourage you to acknowledge these sensations without judgment and to use soothing techniques, like gentle touch or redirecting your attention to something calming. Please keep this in mind as you explore self-compassion practices.
