Additional Information
This workshop will combine a theoretical overview of Compassion Focused Therapy with practical suggestions for developing and managing the dynamics of all aspects of group psychotherapy. We will cover groups across the spectrum of complexity and duration from short term psycho-educative programmes aimed at primary care through to long term trauma focused psychotherapy with hard to reach clients. We will also cover working with complexity, relational difficulties and attachment trauma.
There will be a range of experiential exercises, focusing on developing personal practice in self-compassion and delivering psychotherapeutic interventions. Role play practice opportunities will be offered with small group discussions regarding referral criteria, managing safety and using evolutionary psychology model to cultivated compassion as the basis for inner growth and change.
This workshop has been designed for practitioners, therapists and clinicians who wish to develop their knowledge and practice of exploratory psychotherapy with structured components to provide a more accessible pathway.
This workshop will offer a comprehensive overview of the evolutionary psychology model of CFT as it relates to groupwork. Access will also be given to a personal practice CD and a comprehensive resource pack tailored to the requirements of the group. It is expected that participants in this workshop will gain theoretical and practice-based knowledge about the application of the CFT to groupwork and group dynamics and have the basis upon which to develop groupwork programmes.
