I found that meditation and yoga helped. During workout videos the instructor often says stuff like “You are strong, you are doing great. It’s okay if your pose looks different from mine.”
While it may not adress your personal issues directly it helps viewing yourself in a more positive light.
Also meditation is a lot about realising you had a thought, notice that thought and allow it to move on. You noticing your feelings and allowing them to be.
These will be difficult at first, so try to keep at it for some time. If you see benefits - great. If not, that’s great, too.
Lastly, I find it important to add, that these practices can help but can’t replace therapy. If you feel you’d benefit from therapy, please do not let this deterr you from seeking professional help.
All the best.
