At Balanced Minds, we’re passionate about compassion!
In particular, we’ve been working hard to find ways to help people to practise and learn more about CFT and self-compassion. CFT is a powerful approach to working with human distress and suffering, and in increasing wellbeing, happiness, connection and pro sociality.
But there’s lots of different ideas, theories, practices and uses of CFT, and the come in different forms (e.g. reading, videos, podcasts, apps).
Because of this, we’ve compiled a variety of CFT resources for people to use alongside their work – whether that’s helping other people, learning more about CFT for themselves, or applying CFT to themselves.
