This workshop is designed as a follow on for those who have completed an Introduction to CFT for Eating Disorders (CFT-E), and will provide a guided space for participants to practice together, deepen their understanding and build confidence in using CFT-E with their clients. You will learn from Dr Ken Goss, an internationally renowned expert in the treatment of eating disorders, and a key pioneer in the development of the CFT-E approach. Together, participants will explore the principles, philosophy and techniques of CFT-E, how these can be used to help people recover from an eating disorder/disordered eating, and Ken will demonstrate an outline for the clients journey from assessment to intervention. The workshop will involve didactic teaching, role plays and opportunities to practice key CFT techniques. Completion of this training will also enable participants the change to access post workshop supervision, consultation and masterclasses.
