Abstract
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) integrates techniques from cognitivebehavioral therapy with concepts from psychology and neuroscience. The main
objective of CFT is to use compassionate mind training to help individuals develop and
maintain the experiences of inner warmth and stability, through the cultivation of
compassion (including self-compassion).
This chapter will describe in detail self-compassion as a technique to help ease
distress, anxiety, or depressive feelings, as well as enhance resilience and establish
objective health-related expectations and goals for patients with serious chronic
diseases, such as cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
