Project Soothe

Project Soothe The goal of Project Soothe is to invite the public to help us create a bank of soothing images that we can use in future research and psychotherapy.

In research and psychological therapy, we know that the ability to soothe ourselves at times of distress helps us stay well. However, little is known about how people soothe themselves in everyday life. Our goal is to learn more about the everyday experience of self-soothe. We hope to achieve this by inviting you to send us images that make you feel soothed. We will then post some of these images

on our website and collect feedback from viewers about whether these images make them feel soothed too. These images will then be combined into a large bank of photos for use in future research and psychological therapies. All of the images are provided to us by members of the community, such as yourself. We welcome you to visit our website to find out more about our project and our team. You may also be interested in taking part in our Survey which is also available on our website. www.ProjectSoothe.com

We love this depiction of the 3 evolutionary systems that underpin Gilbert’s theory of compassion by
Balance between these 3 systems is important to retain mental wellness. Project Soothe is examining if the soothe system can be stimulated using photographs. This will help bring this system back into balance and improve mental well-being 🙌🙌
