Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), developed by Dr. Paul Gilbert, is a transdiagnostic psychotherapy that helps individuals develop compassion for self and others while enhancing emotional regulation. It draws on Evolutionary Psychology, CBT, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and Mindfulness. Compassion is viewed as both a motivation and a skill in responding to suffering. This course introduces Compassion Focused Therapy for Psychosis (CFTp), a CFT adaptation for those experiencing voices, unshared beliefs, or other psychosis symptoms. Using the biopsychosocial and “three systems” models of threat, drive, and soothing, CFTp supports emotional regulation and reduces self-criticism and shame. It adopts a trauma-informed lens, recognizing how early adversity, exclusion, and shame heighten threat responses. Participants will explore compassionate imagery, multiple selves work, and letter writing to reduce distress, build emotional safeness, and strengthen inner compassion.

This 6 hour and 6 CE course explores the continuum of difficulties which can occur in response to adverse life events, and then outlines how to use CBT and related approaches to help people change their relationship with their reactions and experiences. Using the methods covered in this course, you will become able to collaborate with people in building coherent and compassionate self-narratives even regarding extremely confusing and disturbing events, helping to set the stage for real recovery
