Compassion Amongst Chaos with Prof Paul Gilbert OBE

PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE

Welcome back to the Still Practising Podcast with Dr James Fish.

Most people enter caring professions because they want to help others, especially those who are suffering. This compassionate motivation may be the most important human drive, especially when facing the multiple crises of modernity. But what do we understand about compassion?

Prof Paul Gilbert OBE is a clinical psychologist who works at the University of Derby and has researched, developed and delivered Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Compassionate Mind Training to many. He is arguably the biggest populariser of compassion approaches and has helped us address many questions, including:

How is compassion different to sympathy or empathy?

How can we develop compassion?

What about compassion fatigue?

How do environments prevent compassion?

How does mindfulness support compassion?
