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.

The Mindfulness Of Body exercise guides clients through the body scan technique. This practice anchors attention to different body parts, promoting non-judgmental awareness and acceptance of physical sensations. By cultivating mindfulness, clients develop a compassionate, observational stance toward their bodily experiences, which can be particularly beneficial in therapeutic contexts.
