Do you constantly criticise yourself for mistakes or imperfections? Do you struggle to comfort yourself during difficult times? Are you overly permissive with yourself, lacking healthy limits and structure? Do you find it difficult to celebrate your achievements? Do you push yourself excessively without regard for your well-being? Do you neglect your basic needs (such as rest, nutrition, and health)? Is your internal dialogue predominantly harsh and punitive? Do you feel uncomfortable or awkward when practising self-compassion? If so, your inner parent likely needs attention and healing.
