Author Takes on Really Negative Internal Dialogues

Have Compassion for Yourself (Judith Ohikuaremay) from the Atlantic
""If someone talked to you the way you talk to yourself, you would have kicked them out of your life a long time ago." As journalist Anneli Rufus sees it, the self-hating person inhabits a world of muted despair that prevents him or her from ever feeling at ease in the world. In Unworthy: How to Stop Hating Yourself, Rufus mines the intractable, negative perceptions that she and others have held about themselves, and analyzes the emergence of self-esteem as a goal that feels unattainable for many people."
