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.

Calm Place Imagery exploits the brain's difficulty in differentiating between real and imagined stimuli, making it possible to trigger the body's soothing system through mental visualization. Often referred to as safe place imagery, this technique is integrated in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and involves creating a mental image of a tranquil environment, facilitating relaxation and self-compassion.
