About the course
During this self-guided, online Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) course, participants will be guided in learning how to develop their βcompassionate mindsβ over 8 sessions.
Based upon the work of Professor Paul Gilbert and CFT, each session of the online CMT course will involve a mixture of taught content and experiential exercises and practices (e.g. mindfulness, imagery, compassionate mind skills development). As the sessions progress, participants will learn how to develop and access their βcompassionate mindsβ, and how they can use this to reduce self-criticism, balance strong negative emotions (e.g. anger, anxiety, shame), and become more compassionate to themselves and other people.
Course content
In this course, there are 8 video sessions facilitated by Chris & Charlie (approx 2 hours each), with each session accompanied by MP3 audios & PDF handouts.
