"Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of

worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection

to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and

how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking,

Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t

change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging."

- Brene Brown

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.

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 & Depersonalisation, OCD and Depression in the past.
