[This episode with Dr Dennis Tirch is from a YouTube episode aired on 14 June 2024. It is released here as a podcast to compliment the episode with Dr Jodi Richardson, which discussed understanding and managing anxiety and the role of self-compassion, released last Friday (22 November 2024).]
What is the difference between THE BRAIN AND THE MIND? What is CONSCIOUSNESS? Given all of this, WHAT IS SUFFERING? How can cultivating compassion help us to alleviate suffering in both ourselves, each other, and the world? And what about if we focus in on anxiety…HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND AND OVERCOME ANXIETY USING COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY?
Dr Dennis Tirch, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) therapist, supervisor, trainer and author, discusses neuroscience, ancient wisdom, music, suffering and compassion in this time and space spanning conversation. He reflects on therapy and what it means to be helpful. And he explores fear and anxiety and practical strategies that bring mindfulness and compassion to our anxiety so that we might suffer less.

[This episode with Dr Wendy Wood is from a YouTube episode aired on 28 June 2024. It is released here as a podcast to compliment the episode with Dr Kerensa Hocken, which discussed Compassion Focused Therapy in forensice populations, released last Friday (15 November 2024).]
One of my most watched videos is WHAT IS COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY, from back in 2020! In this video, I speak with Dr Wendy Wood from The Compassionate Mind Foundation (CMF) about LEARNING COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY.
Wendy has a long history teaching and supervising psychotherapy and counselling, and has helped create the DIPLOMA IN COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY at CMF. And the diploma course beautifully integrates CFT principles into its admissions, tuition and assessment, so that people can thrive and become part of a supportive community.
She mentions CFT and chair work, trauma, forensic populations, running CFT in groups, masterclasses, case studies, supervision and the role for deliberate practice. For anyone interested in becoming a CFT therapist, the diploma course at CMF is definitely a great way to go!

She’s a leader in her field, and today we dive into the challenging topic of working compassionately with individuals who have caused serious harm.

[This episode with Dr Kristin Neff is from a YouTube episode aired on 31 May 2024. It is released here as a podcast to compliment the episode with Dr Elijah Zimmerman from Center for Mindful Self-Compassion released last Saturday (12 October 2024).]
Dr Kristin Neff is a pioneer of our contemporary understanding and approaches to self-compassion. She defines THE THREE COMPONENTS OF SELF-COMPASSION: mindfulness, common humanity and self-kindness. She highlights THE SPACE BETWEEN SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-COMPASSION and also distinguishes self-compassion from notions of self-pity. She offers an OVERVIEW OF THE MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION PROGRAM (MSC), including adaptations and recent developments, and some TIPS: HOW TO PRACTICE SELF-COMPASSION. She offers hope of SELF-COMPASSION AS AN ANTIDOTE TO SHAME. She discusses how we might start OVERCOMING OBJECTIONS TO SELF-COMPASSION, the common fears, blocks and resistances to self-compassion, not least self-criticism, and WHY SELF-COMPASSION IS KEY TO MOTIVATION.
