Great suggestions here.
Forgiving myself is a form of self-compassion for me.

It's a process because its a new way of thinking- changing
the negative voice to one of understanding & compassion for
myself. It helps me to accept reality & grow, because I can trust
myself to be kind & take good care of me no matter what the truth is.
No matter how many mistakes I made, or how fearful, or lacking in
self awareness and courage I was/am. A real process for sure.
