Compassion and Mindfulness Approach

Without the focus on compassion, suffering will be inevitable.

Compassion flows three ways; compassion for others, compassion from others and compassion for ones-self. (self-compassion)

 During the therapy process we explore your understanding of compassion and find mindful ways to develop your compassionate self.

A clearer picture of how we can balance our emotions

Understanding the Three Circle Model helps us understand the functions of our emotion systems. Each emotion system is important. Depending on our motivation our emotion systems will work in different ways.  
 
Together we can find ways balance our emotions more effectively, shifting away from feeling out of control or overwhelmed which could bring us anxiety, stress, pain or suffering
 

We can step back, pause, breathe, process and reflect on what is more helpful ways to take care of ourselves which will have a positive rippling effect on being there more attentively for others too!

Understanding learnt behaviours

It is not our fault what genetics we were given or how our early life experiences evolved. If we feel limited, small and unresourceful within, our self-critic part is going to hinder our growth. Understanding learnt behaviours developed through family generations can offer us a choice to show up differently and gain more inner strength to make significant changes.

We are then able to take responsibility for how we act now, how we choose to continue to develop and grow as an adult in our own right.
