Understanding Me is not therapy but is an information sharing presentation drawing on the theory that underpins Compassionate Mind Training. If you would like to gain a greater understanding of the brain and the functions of emotions, and have found yourself suffering from self critical thoughts or strong difficult emotions, there is now an opportunity to do this, and to develop compassion for yourself and others in the process.
