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.

Developing Your Compassionate Other focuses on creating a 'compassionate other' — a mental image that embodies care and support. Research indicates that envisioning comforting figures, whether real or imagined, can mimic the stress-reducing effects of soothing personal interactions. This structured exercise supports clients in developing such beneficial images to aid in their development of self-compassion.
