Treat yourself with kindness! Use this guided journal to develop the skills of self-compassion: embrace your identity, overcome self-criticism, practice mindfulness, cope with self-doubt, and deal with difficult emotions.

Self-compassion is an essential skill for young adults--it relieves anxiety, lessens depression, improves overall emotional well-being, and helps you to connect more genuinely with others. This interactive guided journal offers more than 100 prompts and exercises to help:

Practice mindfulness, gratitude, and acceptance--and feel happier

Embrace your common humanity--you are not alone

Ideal for teens, young adults and up, and compatible with CBT, DBT, and ACT principles, this guided journal takes readers on a journey of self-disovery and self-love, teaching practical, life-changing skills.
