Heavy thought of the day: from a mental health and healing perspective, it doesn't matter whether what you went through in the past "really counts" as abuse or neglect or violence or trauma or whatever else.
Go ahead and treat yourself with the same kindness as someone who unambiguously has been through any of that.
What's the downside? You might treat yourself with a compassion you feel is unearned?
Because you don't need to justify self-compassion.
