Anxious feelings signal that something needs our attention. Some people experience anxious feelings as an inner voice that keeps raising questions or making negative predictions no matter what they do. We could call the inner voice our “anxious self”.

In Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), a treatment model developed by Prof. Paul Gilbert, our anxious self reflects our threat system functioning. When we feel anxious, it means that our threat system is trying to tell us “watch out, there might be dangers ahead.” From a CFT perspective, we could recruit our soothing system to calm our anxious self. You will get a total of 2 pdf files in this purchase.

1. 9 pages of psychoeducation information sheets explaining the theory underlying CFT for anxiety;

2. 25 pages of practices grouped into three modules, designed to strengthen skills in using compassionate self-talk to soothe our anxious self and overcoming anxiety driven behaviors with compassion.

You could also purchase the psychoeducation worksheets alone: CFT for Anxiety Management
