How to work with fears, blocks and resistances to compassion in compassion focused therapy.

On the 17 November 2019, I published my first Compassion in a T-Shirt video titled “Understanding fears, blocks and resistances to compassion, and how to work through them”. You can see that first, slightly dodgier video here. All this time later, I am excited to return to the topic of working with fears, blocks and resistances to compassion because we have just had a new paper published in the journal Counselling and Psychotherapy Research titled “Therapist perspectives on working with fears, blocks and resistances to compassion in compassion focused therapy.” The paper is open access, so if you like you can access a copy of it via the link below! I’ll give you a summary of the paper, and the concluding five preliminary guidelines to working with fears, blocks and resistances. So let’s dive into the paper and see what it might have to offer!
