It’s important to show self love and forgiveness for when you make mistakes. We are all human, we are bound to make errors in judgment. The most important thing is did you learn from the mistake, did you make amends with the people that you hurt and did you problem solve to make things better. Practicing gratitude is a really effective way to work on self-love and self-compassion. Every morning when you wake up jot down five things you’re grateful for and make sure to incorporate things that are specific to your own personal strengths, growth and healing.

These can lead to a downward spiral of anxiety, panic and depression. With the help of a trained mental health clinician who specializes in trauma, one can begin to process the trauma, learn proper coping skills to deal with life after trauma, and accept one's experience as a part of one's existence.
