There is good and increasing evidence that cultivating compassion
for one's self and others can have a profound impact on our
physiological, psychological and social processes. In contrast,
concerns with inferiority, shame and self-criticism can have very
negative impacts on these processes and are associated with poorer
physical and mental health. The Compassionate Mind Workbook is for
anyone who is interested in how compassion - in the form of ideas
and practices derived from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and
other approaches - may help us to engage with, understand and
ultimately, try to alleviate suffering. CFT utilises both Buddhist
practices and Western psychological science. It draws on
neuroscience, insights into emotion regulation and identity
formation, interpersonal psychology and a range of
psychotherapeutic models. CFT-based interventions can help people
with a range of mental health problems develop compassion for
themselves, be open to the compassion of others and develop
compassion for others. This workbook is a step-by-step guide to
CFT, in which the chapters build your understanding of yourself,
the skills that give rise to a compassionate mind, and ways to work
with whatever difficulties you're struggling with in life. The
exercises, prompts and case stories in this book provide an
understandable and practical way to develop compassion.

Emotions bring purpose, pleasure and meaning to our lives. However,
for many people, they are synonymous with distress, pain and
suffering. Anger and rage can wreck relationships and cause
problems at work; anxiety can prevent us from socialising or
engaging in things we would like to; sadness can feel overwhelming
and never ending. These types of difficulties are often referred to
as emotion regulation problems, and can prevent us from developing
stable and happy relationships, communicating our needs, and
flourishing. This practical self-help book based on Compassion
Focused Therapy (CFT) will help you to take a new approach to
managing difficult emotions. It outlines why we experience
emotions, how they can be helpful but also how and why we can get
in to struggles with them. It outlines the Compassionate Mind
model, and guides you through a series of exercises that will help
you to develop your compassion mind, and use this to develop more
helpful emotion regulation strategies, and bring greater balance to
your emotions.
