Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

- I hold myself to a standard of basically never making mistakes, so every ordinary slip-up feels like a defect in me
- There are parts of me

- When someone does one thoughtless thing I write them off entirely
Practices that may help
- Unconditional Self-Acceptance
Unconditional self-acceptance (USA), a cornerstone of Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, means accepting yourself as a fallible human being regardless of performance or approval — not because you are special, but because rating the whole self on any single act is logically incoherent. The evidence is strongest for the clinical outcomes of REBT; the specific USA construct has solid theoretical and observational support. - Build the child’s inner wealth narrative over time
Consistently reflect back who the child is becoming, not just what they’re doing.

Be for yourself — refuse to be your own adversary, even about the parts you want to change.
The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Made Practical - Dispute the musts and shoulds driving self-condemnation
Catch the absolute demand ("I must succeed") and convert it into a preference ("I strongly prefer to succeed").
Unconditional Self-Acceptance - Extend unconditional acceptance to others
Apply the same anti-rating logic to other people — separating what they did from what they are.

Unconditional Self-Acceptance - Use experiential recognition to highlight strengths in the moment
Catch the child demonstrating a virtue and name the virtue directly.

Believe you are worthy of love and belonging as you are — not after you fix yourself.
