We know what it's like to worry from time to time, but for some of
us, our worrying can take over and have a serious impact on our
lives. When our anxiety gets out of hand and starts to dominate our
lives, affecting how we function and our general sense of
wellbeing, it's time to do something about it. This accessible
self-help guide provides the reader with a clear understanding of
how problem anxiety develops, the kinds of problems it's causing
them and sets out ground-breaking Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
techniques to overcome their anxiety . CFT was initially developed
by Professor Paul Gilbert OBE, author of the bestselling The
Compassionate Mind which set out his ground-breaking approach, to
treat those with high levels of shame and self-criticism. It uses
the proven, research-based techniques of CBT and other therapies
with a special focus on the importance of developing inner
compassion, in order to alleviate feelings of shame, develop a more
balanced outlook and promote resilience. It incorporates elements
of mindfulness and Tibetan Buddhism with recent research on human
development and studies of the brain. It is increasingly used to
treat a wide range of emotional and psychological problems
including depression, overeating, shyness, trauma, anxiety and
anger.
