Get to know your madwoman.

Befriend your madwoman.
Turn toward that self-critical part of you with kindness and compassion. Thank her for the hard work she has done to help you survive. -
Practice gratitude for what you have.
You can write a letter to people telling them how they have helped you or simply pay a ‘gratitude visit’ to them. -
