Module 3: Preparing for Self-Compassion
Overview
This handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions introduces foundational skills for self-compassion, specifically focusing on slowing down and attention retraining. It explains how slow breathing can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to shift the body from a threat response to a soothe state, thereby facilitating more balanced thinking. The resource is designed for clients seeking to cultivate awareness of their internal states before engaging in further self-compassion strategies.
