Some people it can, some not so much.

I have been doing a group course in "Compasionate Mind" a mindfulness and CBT based approach which aims not to cure problems but enable people who are not good at self soothing or who are really hard on themselves to reduce the suffering from the emotions theyhave. There is research to show benefit.

You may want to google compassionate mind.org or listen on utube to find out more.
Or, if you're able to concentrate on reading, this paper might be interesting.

Their materials are available free on line.

Good luck to you and anyone who wants to try it, it takes time and practice to build new circuits in our brains.
