Compassionate Other Imagery by CompassionFocusedTherapy

CFT founder, Dr. Paul Gilbert guides the listener in the practice of visualizing the Compassionate Other. This more advanced method of imagery practice helps the practitioner to cultivate and access their compassionate mind, by visualizing an image of an unfailingly compassionate, warm, and helpful presence. Elements of metta meditation and traditional dharmic compassion practice can be noticed. This practice is among the primary imagery exercises in CFT. This is among the exercises inThe Compassionate Mind Guide To Overcoming Anxiety and the entire CFT series of books. It is advisable to work with a therapist or teacher when engaging these exercises. It is also a good idea to learn more about this practice in its context through any of the CFT series of books.
