Dinah:
My T often reminds me that I need to be my own best parent. She's right. Rarely is there someone who's gonna pat us on the back, give us a big hug, etc. when we do well. So, when I realize I've handled a stressful situation better than I might have in the past, done a good deed, whatever, I try to stop and take the time to give myself credit for the success. It's a good reinforcement that I don't need from the outside.
