Unlock the Power of Compassion with This Free Mini-Guide

Are you curious about how compassion can transform your life, relationships, and mental well-being? My new Mini-Guide: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is designed to help you get started on this transformative journey.

Compassion Focused Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps us navigate self-criticism, shame, stress, and burnout by developing our compassionate self.

“This involves moving away from a harsh, self-attacking style of self-criticism to a self-corrective, compassionate encouragement style of self-to-self relating.” ~ from Mini-Guide: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

This guide introduces the core principles of CFT, including the three emotion regulation systems—threat, drive, and soothing—and how they influence our experiences.

You’ll also discover practical tools like soothing rhythm breathing, compassionate imagery, and letter writing exercises, which can help shift your mindset from harsh self-criticism to compassionate encouragement.

“Through soothing rhythm breathing and body-based practices, cultivate a sense of strength, groundedness, stability, and calmness. Develop emotional courage and confidence, fostering the determination and resilience needed to face life’s challenges.” ~ from Mini-Guide: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

Plus, real-life applications of CFT show how compassion can support healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and work-life balance.

For example, shame and guilt are distinct emotions requiring unique approaches. Shame often stems from feelings of unworthiness and fear of rejection, while guilt arises from recognising harm caused to others.

“Shame and guilt are distinct emotions, arising from different motivational systems, and they need to be worked with in unique ways to ensure effective healing and growth.” ~ from Mini-Guide: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

CFT helps individuals approach shame with kindness, understanding that imperfections are part of being human. For guilt, CFT encourages accountability and constructive actions to repair relationships.

Through practices like soothing rhythm breathing and compassionate self-talk, individuals can navigate these and other difficult emotions, fostering acceptance, resilience, and growth.

This guide is perfect for anyone looking to build a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves while fostering connection and courage. Whether you're new to CFT or a seasoned practitioner, it offers simple, actionable steps to integrate compassion into your daily life.
