Compassion refers to the courage to face our fears and difficulties so that we can reach our goals and live the lives we want. Here you can watch a presentation on a case study of implementing CFT and behaviour therapy to help a young woman overcome her fear of blood and shame of fainting. Daphne cultivated her compassionate self and ideal compassionate person, which encouraged her to engage in gradual exposure. The therapy was concluded in a mood of humour, moving emotions, shared appreciation and gratitude.
