About this workshop
About this Course
This two-day intermediate workshop is aimed at psychologists and therapists with some CFT knowledge and/or experience of working with physical health problems. We will explore how Compassion-Focused Therapy can help us to understand the distress and disability caused by long-term physical health symptoms, such as pain and fatigue.
We will explain how to use the 3 systems model to formulate health-related distress, using case examples and providing opportunity for participants to bring their own cases for discussion.
We will introduce the concept of “striving,” which evolved to help us to function in times of feast and famine, but can drive overactivity and exacerbate physical health symptoms.
This workshop will consider different levels of application of CFT in physical health. We will cover Compassionate Mind Training to support self-management of physical symptoms and Compassion Focused Therapy to understand and change long-standing barriers to self-management. We will introduce the use of Multiple Selves formulations for understanding critical self-talk and the unintended consequences of long-standing ways of approaching physical health problems. We will also provide examples of CFT group work for physical health conditions and use of CFT in multi-disciplinary teams and healthcare systems.
There will be opportunity for guided practice of compassion-based exercises and techniques.
Key learning points
· Using CFT theory to understand and formulate difficulties with adjustment and self-management for people with physical health problems
· Understanding the role of striving and self-criticism in maintaining distress and disability
· Application of CFT to enhance self-management of physical health problems

Yes, this course is suitable for those who are new to CFT, although some knowledge of the basics may be helpful.
As this course is aimed at an intermediate level, participants will be expected to have a basic understanding of the CFT model. If you are new to CFT, we would encourage you to attend one of our introductory trainings first.
Unfortunately, this workshop will not be suitable for those with no prior CFT training. The trainer will be teaching the workshop on the assumption that all attendees have a good understanding of the model and will not have time to go over this. We recommend first attending one of our Introduction to CFT workshops, which we run several times a year.
Yes we will email certificates of attendance to all attendees, however as this is for personal practice and not for continuing professional development, the certificate will not include any CPD.
