[This episode with Dr James Kirby is from a YouTube episode aired on 25 November 2022. It is released here as a podcast to compliment the episode with Dr Emiliana Simon-Thomas, which discussed the science of compassion, released last Friday (17 January 2025).]

Dr James Kirby is the co-director of the Compassionate Mind Research Group at the University of Queensland. He studies the effectiveness of Compassion Focused Therapy interventions in helping with the self-criticism and shame that underpin many depression and anxiety disorders. James also works as a clinical psychologist in private practice. This is his first book.
