Level: Intermediate
This two-day intermediate workshop is aimed at psychologists and therapists with some CFT knowledge and/or experience of working with physical health problems. We will explore how Compassion-Focused Therapy can help us to understand the distress and disability caused by long-term physical health symptoms, such as pain and fatigue.
We will explain how to use the 3 systems model to formulate health-related distress, using case examples and providing opportunity for participants to bring their own cases for discussion.
We will introduce the concept of “striving,” which evolved to help us to function in times of feast and famine, but can drive overactivity and exacerbate physical health symptoms.
This workshop will consider different levels of application of CFT in physical health. We will cover Compassionate Mind Training to support self-management of physical symptoms and Compassion Focused Therapy to understand and change long-standing barriers to self-management. We will introduce the use of Multiple Selves formulations for understanding critical self-talk and the unintended consequences of long-standing ways of approaching physical health problems. We will also provide examples of CFT group work for physical health conditions and use of CFT in multi-disciplinary teams and healthcare systems.
There will be opportunity for guided practice of compassion-based exercises and techniques.
Key learning points
· Using CFT theory to understand and formulate difficulties with adjustment and self-management for people with physical health problems
· Understanding the role of striving and self-criticism in maintaining distress and disability
· Application of CFT to enhance self-management of physical health problems
