Why is it important to develop a sympathetic and compassionate attitude toward yourself?

Because the habit of berating yourself can negate the effects of all the healing efforts.⠀ Let's say we've worked through all the key points of our regression, dealt with all the inner critics and scolding teachers, and then what? And then nothing can change... since being accustomed to scold ourselves, we simply may not have the experience: "Is there any other way?"⠀ That's where daily practice comes in. This practice includes gaining the skill of self-support and self-awareness. Yes, it will take you some time to learn how to respond to your own failures and mistakes in a new way.
