The Self-Compassion Workbook: Practical Exercises to Approach Your Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions with Kindness

Struggling with self-doubt, overthinking, or perfectionism? This gentle workbook is your step-by-step guide to breaking the cycle of self-criticism--and finally finding peace.

Written by licensed therapist Joy Johnson, LCSW, The Self-Compassion Workbook is a calming, practical guide designed to help you turn inward with kindness. Drawing on proven tools from mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and positive psychology, it offers more than relief--it fosters lasting transformation.

What sets this workbook apart:

• Healing structure, clear progression: Thoughtfully organized into three sections--Thoughts, Emotions, and Behaviors--to help you build insight and healing step by step
• 60+ accessible, evidence-based tools: Including breathing techniques, mindful journaling prompts, grounding exercises, and daily self-talk shifts
• No pressure, just permission: Flexible pacing lets you start anywhere, skip around, and revisit exercises as you grow--ideal for anyone in therapy or starting a healing journey
• Supportive, relatable tone: Written in a warm, non-judgmental voice that feels like a compassionate friend--not a clinical textbook
• Designed for real-life application: Perfect for high achievers, people-pleasers, caregivers, and anyone facing burnout, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion

Whether you use it daily or return to it when needed, The Self-Compassion Workbook is a powerful reminder that you are already worthy of your own kindness.
