It's not only possible, but in our own best self interest! (See my thread about not comparing ourselves to anyone or thing!)

Just like a T extends us unconditional caring... we should extend such to ourselves, also, imo.

Good self-esteem IS unconditional, imo. Try beginning with basic statements such as: I am human and therefore not perfect. I do not deserve abuse nor mistreatment.

(But I guess the book can give you better ones?)

Do you happen to have someone in your life that you love unconditionally? Why not do this for yourself as well?

TC great post,btw!
