Fantastic keynote from Prof Rory O’Connor on suicidal thoughts to action. Key take home being the importance for assessing for external and internal entrapment, as well as ensuring compassion central to care @CompMindFound #cmfconf24

So great to hear @ProfPaulGilbert’s keynote address at the @CompMindFound! Some incredible messages, but I can’t stop thinking about the importance of flow, and how the contexts we live in powerfully influences our compassionate flow (self, other, receiving) #cftconf2024

Compassion already exists, we need to understand what turns it off. Dr. Paul Gilbert asks us to consider what turns off our ability to be compassionate in this conversation about cultivating compassion for men and boys: bit.ly/4azOh2k
