MINDFULNESS AND SELF COMPASSION Dr. Gerard Pauley
Four Key Points 1) 2) 3) 4) What is Compassion Focussed Therapy? Why is being mindful important to the process of becoming compassionate to self? How do we model and provide the care and attention required for this process? What is the future in this area?
Compassion Focussed Therapy Evolved out of regular reports of incongruence: “I can think that I am okay, but I don’t feel it. ” Developed to target shame and self-criticism (internal & external threats) Focus on developing positive emotions, e. g. , safeness, soothing. Considers a range of perspectives including: evolutionary, neurological, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioural, and mindfulness (Buddhist).

The Importance of Mindfulness Helps to counter the trivialisation of changing the relationship with self. Developing self-compassion requires a wise space. This ‘space’ is one in which people can try out a different relationship with self: you would not embark on this process without being able to adopt a different stance to it.
The Importance of Mindfulness Question: What happens when you just sit with yourself? Question: How might you go about learning to sit with yourself? Once you can do that you can: Reflect rather than avoid your experiences Develop a different perspective Accept the emotions and thoughts that arise Have a relationship between you and your mind
