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.

Mindful Walking invites individuals to harness the benefits of mindfulness during walking. This practice aids in breaking the cycle of mindless movement by anchoring attention in the present moment. By focusing on the sensations experienced during walking, this process encourages a deepened awareness.
