About the workshop
Compassion-focused therapy was developed as a means of addressing psychological difficulties underpinned by shame and self-criticism. The model draws on social, neurophysiological and evolutionary theory to seek to understand emotional regulation and our basic social motivational systems. It postulates the benefit of mindfully tuning into and developing compassion, activating our ‘affiliative/soothing system’ and balancing our affect regulating systems, particularly in response to threat.
In recent years there has been a growing evidence base for the approach. Recognising the difficulties facing health care staff compassion-based initiatives have been adapted for frontline NHS staff and executive teams and as a means to build personal and professional resilience. It has also been adapted for use in physical health care settings with those individuals facing a range of conditions such as cancer, diabetes, chronic pain and life limiting conditions.This workshop will briefly outline compassion focused therapeutic approaches and provide participants with an opportunity to consider how the approach may be beneficial to themselves and their clients.
In this workshop delegates will:
• Learn what compassion is (and isn’t)
• Consider the barrier to, and benefits of focusing on Compassion
• Understand the experiences and factors that influence us
• Learn how to use this knowledge for the benefit of yourself & others
The workshop will include interactive teaching, practical exercises and group discussions
The workshop will be suitable for:
Individuals interested in motivating themselves, and others, to make helpful choices and put them into action
