Social rank theory relates to the human evolved motives around social competitiveness, hierarchies, influence and power. In this video we will explore the "dual-strategies theory of social rank" that incorporates two distinct yet equally viable pathways to gaining status in human social hierarchies: dominance and prestige. Importantly, we will consider...where does compassion fit in? Let me know what you think!

The notion of pride often comes along with negative connotations. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins! But recent research has differentiated two types of pride: hubristic and authentic pride. This video will explore pride, the details of these two types, where pride comes from and why authentic pride in particular might be very helpful. The video describes how to practice authentic pride in three steps!

#pride

What is compassion? Well, one way to answer that is to highlight what compassion is not. Compassion is not a feeling. It is not the same as love. And it's not the same as kindness. Compassion draws on the skill of empathy, but is not empathy. It is definitely not pity. And it is not simply being nice. There is nothing indulgent about compassion. It is not weak. Compassion is not easy. And it is good, but doesn't always feel good. This video dives into the details!

Forgiveness can be very difficult. We can't help but feel angry and resentful when someone hurts us! But the pain of resentment often just makes matters worse. In fact, forgiveness is an act of self-compassion. When we forgive another who has hurt us, then we let go of anger and resentment and we suffer less. But how do you go about it? Well, here are a few steps...and a little mantra that I find often works for me. Let me know what you think!

Ageing is difficult. Time flies by and we get older. And we can suffer. Self-compassion can help! I turned 50 today, and while in some ways this is still a relatively young age, in other ways my body is giving me lots of little clues and reminders that time is passing. And there are certain realities there that we can't avoid. So how can we approach ageing in a way that is most helpful? How can we age positively and well? And what might compassion and self-compassion have to do with it? In fact, in this video you will discover the three steps I am trying to work with as I bring self-compassion to my own ageing process.

We have compassion focused therapy (CFT) and we have compassionate mind training (CMT), but what is CMT exactly? CFT is a psychotherapy, and CMT is a part of CFT. But CMT can also be delivered as a more structured course. In this video, we dive a little deeper to understand some of the research behind CMT, as well as the session by session details of the course!
