This session will focus on using compassion focused therapy (CFT) theory and practice to understand, formulate, and treat clients experiencing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We will explore key maintaining processes relevant to OCD, including shame, self‑criticism, threat-based attentional biases, fear of responsibility, intrusive thoughts, compulsive safety behaviours, and the ways in which these processes interact with broader developmental and social contexts.
The session will help therapists develop greater confidence in talking about intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and associated fears with their clients across individual, couple, and group settings. Using a compassion-focused framework, we will consider how threat-based loops become amplified in OCD, how fears of harm and responsibility become internalised, and how CFT can support clients in developing a more grounded, courageous, affiliative stance toward difficult internal experiences.
Participants will learn how to formulate OCD using a transdiagnostic CFT model, integrating evolutionary and functional understandings of threat, guilt, shame, and responsibility. The training is suitable for therapists with a good existing understanding of CFT who wish to deepen their skills in working compassionately and effectively with clients who struggle with OCD, self-criticism, and the emotional pain that surrounds intrusive thoughts and compulsions.
