Inside this resource
Introduction to Compassion
The opening part of this compassion focused therapy course establishes the theoretical foundation, covering how evolutionary pressures shaped our capacity for empathy and why some clients struggle to access their soothing system. Attachment theory connects directly to the development of self-compassion across the lifespan.
Bringing Compassion to Practice
This section bridges theory and clinical work by demonstrating how compassion-focused principles integrate into existing psychotherapy frameworks. Gilbert and Tirch walk through the therapeutic stance, the role of the compassionate self, and cultivating courage in sessions dominated by shame and self-criticism.
CFT Skills and Techniques
Hands-on training in compassionate mind training, compassion-focused imagery, chairwork, and mindfulness practices. Each technique is demonstrated through real therapy recordings so you observe how practitioners introduce these methods with resistant or avoidant clients in compassion focused therapy sessions.
Shame and Exposure with Compassion
The final part addresses combining compassion-focused approaches with exposure work for anxiety and trauma. You learn strategies for helping clients approach feared situations while maintaining a compassionate stance, reducing retraumatization risk during challenging interventions.
Who this serves
- Psychotherapists and counselors — wanting to add compassion-focused methods to CBT, ACT, or other modalities
- Clinicians working with shame and self-criticism — seeking evidence-based approaches for chronically self-critical clients

Priya R. –
Well-structured course that builds from theory to practice across four parts. The exposure and shame section at the end was particularly useful for my trauma caseload. Would like more advanced-level content.
Sarah M. –
Paul Gilbert’s teaching on the soothing system and evolutionary basis of compassion was a revelation. The chairwork demonstrations showed me exactly how to introduce these techniques with clients stuck in chronic shame.
Michael T. –
Good introduction to compassion focused therapy but some sections felt repetitive. The evolutionary science foundation is solid though. The demonstrations with real clients were the strongest component.
James K. –
The compassion-focused imagery exercises alone justified the purchase. I started using them the next week with a client who had been resistant to traditional CBT approaches for self-criticism.
Chen W. –
Dennis Tirch brings practical clinical wisdom alongside Gilbert’s theoretical depth. The mindfulness integration was seamless. I would recommend this for any therapist wanting compassion-based tools.
