This is a bundle purchase of three pain management resources written based on Compassion Focused Therapy treatment model.

In Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), a treatment model developed by Prof. Paul Gilbert, pain can be considered to be a trigger of our threat system, because pain can be regarded as a signal of injury and harm, as well as a barrier to achieving our desired goals. Compassion focused pain management focuses on enhancing pain acceptance so that even if pain is here to stay in our life, we can still seek to minimize its impact on our well-being.
