Self deprecation achieves nothing but making yourself feel rubbish, yet it is something many people do on a regularly in life. Some people are hard on themselves even when receiving praise and feedback. If this sounds familiar you might find the following article to be useful.

Here is an extract from the course

“If your child, partner, or close friend told you they were struggling with something, how would you respond? Odds are, you’d take the time to listen and find a way to show you care. Compassion, or the concern for other people’s misfortune, is an important part of any relationship — and if you’re close with someone, it’s fairly easy to do. So why does it feel so counterintuitive to show that same compassion to yourself when you need it?”
