Ep34: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

“Remember, be kind to yourself!” We’ve heard this a zillion times but what does this look like? How do we actually do it?

Today we are diving into the world of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) with expert and Clinical Psychologist, Stan Steindl. Stan gives us the whistle-stop tour through CFT, showing us how human it is for life to have difficult bits in it, and how tricky our brains can be. Stan talks about how treating ourselves with more compassion can be a tool to limit our suffering, which would be mighty helpful for those tackling cancer as well as for those running alongside them.

For those wanting to do a deeper dive into CFT, click these links to access Stan’s YouTube channel and Podcast called, Compassion in a T-Shirt, where he talks to all manner of interesting people about all things Compassion.

Stan is also an author, with his book, The Gifts of Compassion, which can be found at the link below:

Lastly, Chemotional Rollercoaster is not a substitute for seeking one’s own professional advice. The strategies and skills discussed in all Chemotional Rollercoaster episodes are either what has worked for Glynn or his guests, specifically, or are things discussed in a general way. Anyone who is dealing with their own health issues, mental or physical, should seek their own professional advice on what may help to support them, uniquely. Often, the best place to start is your family doctor or GP. If anyone is struggling, and needs to talk immediately, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
