Chris is a Clinical Psychologist with many years of experience working in the NHS. He is now co-director of Balanced Minds where he provides Compassion Focused therapy and training courses. He is the author of a number of Compassion Focused Books & co-creator of The Self-Compassion App.

We discussed:

• How CFT addresses the essence of the human condition and enables us to courageously turn towards suffering
• Why our minds get stuck in unhelpful loops of thinking
• How threat based emotions like anxiety and shame drive unhelpful behaviours
• Noticing when your threat system is overactive
• Adopting a compassionate perspective
• Mind-body practices
