Training people in compassion can have a wide range of physiological, psychological and therapeutic benefits.

 

Compassion has been widely accepted to be one of the most crucial abilities of the human mind for more than 3000 years.

​

Most religions appreciate the power of compassion. 

​

In the last 30 years, Psychology has focused on the positive impact compassion has on the human brain.

​

One of the most important processes in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), is to stimulate a desire to cultivate a compassionate self and use a compassionate perspective (Gilbert, 2009)

 

Clients are invited to imagine the potential benefits of having certain qualities, in particular wisdom, strength and a commitment to be compassionate (Gilbert and Choden, 2013)

 

CFT uses a range of breathing, postural, imaginal, recall and method acting techniques to help people have an experience of what it is, or could be like, to be a compassionate self (Cannon, 2012)
