Overview

Self-compassion is a helpful skill for emotional well-being. The Psychology Tools For Developing Self-Compassion audio collection provides a structured approach to developing self-compassion using principles from compassion focused therapy (CFT). CFT is an evidence-based psychological approach that integrates evolutionary, cognitive, and affective neuroscience to help individuals cultivate compassion and alleviate high levels of shame and self-criticism.

A Memory Of Caring For Others is designed for either independent use and integration into therapy. It supports clients in engaging their soothing systems through the recall of  a compassionate memory – encouraging them to reflect on times they have shown kindness, either to people or animals – and harnessing these memories to develop self-compassion and resilience.
