1. Self-compassion actually improves motivation. When mistakes aren’t met with shame, we’re more willing to try again rather than withdraw.

2. It also reduces emotional reactivity. A calmer internal response frees up cognitive space for problem-solving instead of self-defence.

3. It strengthens relationships. The way we treat ourselves shapes how patient, open, and generous we can be with others.

We hope you’ve found this series useful. If you would like to explore this more with one of our wonderful therapists, please reach out via email to info@amherstpsychology.com.au or through the contact form on our website.

For many people, self-criticism once played a protective role. It may have driven achievement, prevented mistakes, or reduced the risk of judgment. Unfortunately, our old strategies don’t disappear just because they’re exhausting or no longer needed.

Kindness towards yourself can also feel unfamiliar or undeserved. Especially if receiving care from others was conditional growing up.

And there’s a common fear: If I go easy on myself, will I stop trying? In reality, compassion tends to increased resilience but fear doesn’t always respond to logic 🤷‍♀️
