Thanks for joining me on the Therapy Explained podcast. This week is all about compassion as I speak with Dr Georgina Mullen about Compassion-Focused Therapy. Georgina is a clinical psychologist working at the Irish Centre for Compassion Focused Therapy in Dublin.

We speak about the origins of CFT, its roots in neuroscience and attachment theory, the threat, drive and soothing responses and why these are so important in CFT, the prevalence of critical or shame-based parts of us and why CFT can help with these, working with ambivalence towards compassion and how CFT can be integrated with other modalities such as trauma-informed yoga.
