Would you say this to a friend? Picture them coming to you after a hard week, telling you they messed up. Would you look at them and say "you're such a failure"? Probably not. You'd probably say something like "okay, that happened, what now." So why does the voice in your own head skip straight to the harshest line available? A mistake is something you did. It's not a verdict on who you are. Untangling that difference, action from identity, is slow work, and it's the kind of work that gets easier with support. If your self-talk has been rough lately, counselling can help you practice a kinder, more accurate inner voice. We'd be glad to help you build that.
