In this episode Dr Alice Nicholls tells me all about CFT and its potential for personal injury work. We discuss the interactions between our threat, drive and soothing systems; the effects of an overly critical internal voice; ways to activate the soothing system; the need for compassion in case management; some tips for personal injury professionals; framing experiences with CFT; fighting criticism with compassion; and how we can generate compassion in difficult circumstances.

Today I'm talking to Stavros about the lessons for case managers from his research into group processes: how groups work; optimizing teams to ensure engagement; monitoring conflict and avoidance; being proactive; what to do when groups break down, and when to bring in help.

Shabnam's reflections as host to (a) a new podcast and (b) an established inner critic: from triggering and tracing, to taming your critical voice; allowing yourself balance and fairness; finding supporters; acknowledging positive statements; thinking about how other people see you; and giving yourself space.
