That is a very good suggestion. And much harder to do than it sounds like, if you are like me and have a part that fights anything positive about yourself.

I noticed my resistance to even this idea (it took me some time to even look at your post beyond what pops up in the preview), and I think that if I were to try this, I would receive it better if I wrote as if writing a letter to myself in the second person. Since it is something missing that we didn't get during childhood, I think that I would need to receive it as if someone else were telling me.
