Toolkit 9: The Self-Compassion Starter Kit


Introduction

After trauma, the way we speak to ourselves often becomes harsh, critical, or even punishing. This toolkit offers a calm place to begin rebuilding that inner voice, with honesty, care, and emotional safety.

It’s not about forcing positivity. It’s about remembering you deserve the same kindness you so often give to others.



What’s Inside

  • – A self-talk awareness reflection page
  • – Gentle reframing prompts for inner criticism
  • – A simple “what would I say to a friend?” exercise
  • – Mirror mantra cards for daily emotional support
  • – Ideas to build your own compassion ritual
  • – A closing reminder that healing begins with how you treat yourself

You don’t have to earn compassion, you’re already worthy of it.
