About this workshop
About this Course
The compassionate mind foundation is now into its fourth year of running a one-year British Psychological Society endorsed diploma. This facilitates in depth learning of CFT with international trainers and with regular supervision. The diploma begins with a three-day exploration of CFT orientated to the diploma.
Due to popular interest and demand we have decided to open this workshop to those with some experience of CFT and at least 3 years post qualification experience working in the capacity of counselling or psychotherapist. Some experience of using CFT would be an advantage. You will be joining the current cohort of trainees
The workshop will:
Explore evolutionary, biopsychosocial and integrative approaches to mental health difficulties and intervention, and the nature of compassion including insight into the biopsychosocial effects of compassion cultivation on mental health and prosocial behaviour
Outline how the three challenges of life (to protect, acquire resources-control, and rest) are linked to three types of emotion regulation and how compassion motivation can harmonise these systems
Outline the basic algorithm of compassion as 1. Being sensitive to distress and suffering in self and others and; 2. working out how to be helpful. These are supported with competencies such as empathy, distress tolerance, and behavioural engagement.
How compassion processing is linked to attachment systems and how they are recruited into therapeutic interventions

Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, and particularly that it will contain a lot of group work, we feel you'd be missing too much of its value if you cannot participate live. So all delegates will need to attend live. Any delegates that have signed up but don't attend will not receive a CPD certificate.
Please get in touch at hello@compassionatemind.co.uk if you can now longer attend this workshop and need to change your booking.
Yes, this workshop will be recorded on zoom. Once the workshop has finished all delegates will receive a follow-up email with the links to view these along with any extra resources. These will be available to view for around 3 months post-event. The recordings are edited, so will be made available roughly a week after the workshop has finished.
Yes, this course is suitable for those who are new to CFT, although some knowledge of the basics may be helpful.

This workshop is aimed at those who have a good grounding in the foundations of Compassion Focused Therapy, so we do require that you have completed an Introductory workshop beforehand (please check the topics covered in the Introduction to CFT workshop on our Training Pathway). We generally recommend leaving at least six months between completing an Introductory workshop and attending the Clinical Skills workshop in order to give yourself time to practise with your clients, as this workshop will be aimed to helping you to build on your skills.
Introductory workshops held by other organisations will be accepted, so long as they are at least two days in length, include the topics covered in our Introduction to CFT course, and are led by a recognised CFT trainer. For any queries about this, please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk
