No, that wouldn't help (because SPF 'protects' a different From address
than the one you see in your mail client).

There are many good reasons why someone would receive emails from their
own email address, automatic alerts being one common example.

While most usesrs will never receive legitimate emails from their own
address, it is too common a use case for spam filters to block them
outright.
