Self Acceptance

I have been skirting around the idea of self acceptance in therapy for a while now, there are parts of me that barely acknowledge much less accept and I guess I saw self acceptance as a destination - somewhere warm and cosy, a soft place to rest in if that makes sense. So, I ve been waiting to be overtaken by warm, caring feelings about myself and endlessly frustrated that it hasn t happened. It seems I ve been doing it wrong, self acceptance is actually hard bloody work. I m not sure why... Self Acceptance
