Workshop
Compassion Focused Therapy for Eating Disorders
Two day online workshop with Dr Ken Goss
About this workshop
CFT-E is an evidence-based treatment that is highly effective for people with a range of difficulties with eating disorders.
This workshop is designed to introduce the principles, philosophy and techniques of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and how these can be modified and applied to help people recover from an eating disorder/eating distress. It outlines ways to improve therapeutic outcomes and support long term recovery. It is aimed at health professionals who are working, or want to work, therapeutically with young people and adults with these difficulties. It will help you explore if this approach would be a useful addition to your therapeutic repertoire.
The workshop outlines how CFT-E teaches clients skills to recognise and regulate their emotions, enhance their compassionate motivation to change, address thoughts and feelings linked to disordered eating (including shame self-criticism) and make clinically significant changes in their behaviours.
It will explore how this transdiagnostic approach can be used to support people with a range of eating disorder diagnoses (including Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa, OSFED, Binge Eating Disorder) and overeating associated with emotional distress. It will also outline how it can be used in a range of ways including group, individual and in-person work, day patient and in-patient settings and as guided self-help or online therapy. During the workshop you will be introduced to the CFT-E formulation and treatment model, including the aims and flow of therapy, and a session-by-session outline for clinical delivery. It will also outline the evidence that supports incorporating CFT-E into mainstream care, including recent controlled and randomised controlled trials.
