About this Course

Compassion Focused Therapy was developed by Paul Gilbert as a means of addressing psychological difficulties underpinned by shame & self-criticism. The model draws on an array of important research fields such as social, neurophysiological, and evolutionary theory, attachment & developmental psychology to seek to understand ourselves & others. It then assists individuals to mindfully tune into & develop compassion, thus activating our ‘affiliative/soothing system’ & balancing our affect regulating systems, particularly in response to threat.

In recent years there has been a growing evidence base for the approach. It has been adapted & tailored for those experiencing trauma, eating related difficulties, psychosis, physical health conditions & work-related stress.

So why wait to use the approach in adulthood? How about using CFT with children & young people to prevent & alleviate problems sooner? This workshop will provide a brief introduction to CFT and the ways it can be used to assist children & their families. Tangible examples, tools, and exercises will be shared to ensure delegates leave with ways in which CFT can influence their practice &, maybe, their own lives too.
