Abstract
Individuals who have been involved in a traumatic experience often feel significant levels of shame and/or guilt. Whilst cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) may be effective in reducing other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), these individuals may also benefit from using self-soothing techniques, such as developing empathy, loving kindness and compassion for themselves, in a nonjudgmental way1. This might be described in everyday, non-technical language, as encouraging the client to consider ‘being kinder to myself’, as an aid to therapeutic recovery, following a traumatic incident.
