Building resilience by cultivating compassion

Beaumont, EA

Abstract

This article considers how compassionate mind training (an intervention that has been used within clinical populations to help individuals who report high levels of shame and self-criticism to develop compassion) may be used to help student healthcare practitioners, including counsellors, nurses and midwives, cultivate self-compassion, which may help them face the demands of clinical care.
