Workshop
Compassion Focused Therapy Chairwork
This is a two day online workshop with Dr Tobyn Bell & Alison Bell
About this workshop
‘Chairwork’ refers to a group of experiential psychotherapeutic techniques that incorporate chairs, the positioning of chairs and the client’s movement between them. Chairwork has a rich history in psychotherapy and has a key role in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). Research has found chairwork to be an effective, experiential intervention that increases emotional processing and activation; facilitates differentiation, dialogue and integration between internal ‘parts’ or ‘selves’; allows clients to gain a metacognitive stance; and is memorably ‘enactive’ in nature.
The webinar will provide participants with an opportunity to practice key CFT chairwork interventions such as working with self-criticism and processing multiple threat-emotions. Alternate and novel applications of CFT chairwork will be introduced and practiced, including working with blocks to compassion using chairwork and integrating motivational chairwork. Each intervention will be introduced with digital adaptations to ensure these powerful procedures can be applied when working online.
The webinar is predominantly skills-based and experiential and will include live observations, practical exercises, theoretical discussion and group reflection. Whilst the workshop is open to people new to CFT, participants will benefit from some prior knowledge of the therapy.
