Specific Techniques

 

For clients having difficulty with anxious, obsessive, or unpleasant thoughts, a compassion-focused approach is often quite therapeutic in itself. For more persistent problems, Dr. Armstrong teaches his clients mindfulness techniques, diaphragmatic breathing, cognitive reframing (perspective shifting), and incremental exposure.

For clients with trauma or an otherwise difficult history, there is a specific compassion-focused approach whereby emotional memories are “reprocessed” from a warm and compassionate perspective.
