It’s going to bed at night thinking,</p><p>Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t</p><p>change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.\"</p><p><br></p><p>- Brene Brown</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, Jonny Say discussed with Dr. Z. his take on self-compassion, what's unique about Compassion Focused Therapy, what's behind our self-harsh criticism, and how we can learn different ways to relate to them.</p><p><br></p><p>Jonny primarily uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy in his client work and has created a number of resources on his YouTube Channel and Guided Meditation Library to support mental health and well-being. He believes passionately in the power of ACT and CFT for mental health recovery, having experienced his own challenges with Anxiety &amp; Depersonalisation, OCD and Depression in the past.</p><p><br></p><p>You can connect with Jonny and the Mindfulness Circle on:</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mindfulnesscircle/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/mindfulnesscircle/</a></p><p>Youtube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvoYN3priYPLQ278FFu_J0w\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvoYN3priYPLQ278FFu_J0w</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mindfulcircle\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://twitter.com/mindfulcircle</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Subscribe &amp; review on iTunes!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Are you subscribed to my podcast?
