This session will focus on using Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) theory and practice to understand, formulate and treat clients experiencing body dysmorphia and related appearance‑focused distress. We will explore key maintaining processes, including shame, self‑criticism, threat‑based attentional biases and safety behaviours, and consider how these interact with broader developmental and social contexts. The aim of the session is to help therapists feel more confident in talking about appearance concerns with their clients across individual, couple and group settings, and to formulate body dysmorphia in a transdiagnostic and integrative way. This training is suitable for therapists with a good existing understanding of CFT who wish to deepen their confidence and skills in working compassionately with clients who struggle with body image, shame and the pain that surround it.
