Compassion is a powerful orientation to address suffering and to work out how we can alleviate and prevent it.
Imagine someone criticizing you every single day. It's exhausting, right? Now, what if that someone is you? Constant self-criticism can take a toll on your mind and body, leading to stress and even depression. In this episode of 'All In The Mind', Lynne Malcolm chats with Paul Gilbert, a professor of clinical psychology at The University of Derby, about the transformative power of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).
Gilbert breaks down how CFT can help quiet that harsh inner voice by cultivating compassion for yourself and others. This isn't just feel-good talk; it's backed by science. Gilbert explains how CFT can lead to real physiological changes, like increased heart rate variability, and even help with issues like weight loss and PTSD in veterans.
Whether you're struggling with self-criticism or just curious about the science of compassion, this episode offers valuable insights into how being kinder to yourself can change your life. Don't miss out on learning how to create a more compassionate mind and alleviate suffering through CFT.
