About this workshop
Shame is a powerful and universal human emotion, evolved to assist us to navigate our social relationships. However, shame can also be profoundly painful and have serious adverse effects on psychological functioning, mental health and social wellbeing. Shame memories have been found to become central to our sense of self-identity, and can have traumatic qualities that maintain and exacerbate threat system activation, especially in the social and relational aspects of our lives. Nevertheless, cultivating compassion, especially directing compassion to oneself and receiving compassion from others, have been found to buffer the negative impact of shame experiences. While shame and shame memories can be painful and difficult to approach, there is mounting evidence about the role that Compassion Focused Therapy can play in helping alleviate and prevent the suffering associated with shame. This workshop will provide a compassionate roadmap for working with shame and shame memories by developing, practicing and embodying the compassionate self, through a combination of knowledge sharing, discussion, and experiential exercises.

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 we will email certificates of attendance to all attendees, however as this is for personal practice and not for continuing professional development, the certificate will not include any CPD.
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, towards the bottom of the page under the 'prices' section you will find a link to download a booking form for this workshop. Please fill this in and email to finance@compassionatemind.co.uk
No, as this is a supervision workshop and delegates will be discussing sensitive matters, this workshop will not be recorded. For that reason it is essential that delegates attend this workshop live. Any non-attendees will not receive a certificate.
Unfortunately, this workshop will not be suitable for those with no prior CFT training. The trainer will be teaching the workshop on the assumption that all attendees have a good understanding of the model and will not have time to go over this. We recommend first attending one of our Introduction to CFT workshops, which we run several times a year.
