Still Carrying What Someone Said

17 min

Best for: old criticism that still stings

A gentle self-compassion practice for the words you still carry from someone else, a parent, a teacher, a partner, a stranger. You'll settle the breath, bring one repeated sentence into view, and meet it with warmth rather than argument. Through quiet noticing and self-kindness, you begin to separate the voice that spoke it from the voice that is genuinely yours.
