Chris is a Clinical Psychologist with many years of experience working in the NHS. He  is now co-director of Balanced Minds where he provides Compassion Focused therapy and training courses. He is the author of a number of Compassion Focused Books & co-creator of The Self-Compassion App.


We discussed:

  • How CFT addresses the essence of the human condition and enables us to courageously turn towards suffering
  • Why our minds get stuck in unhelpful loops of thinking
  • How threat based emotions like anxiety and shame drive unhelpful behaviours
  • Noticing when your threat system is overactive
  • Adopting a compassionate perspective
  • Mind-body practices
