A unique opportunity to learn from one of the most eminent and knowledgeable professors in the world, whose contribution to clinical practice and research is unrivalled
Practitioners continually encounter shame and self-criticism when working therapeutically with clients, across a range of presenting problems and psychological disorders. This can be challenging to address, and to treat successfully.
Professor Gilbert will explain:
- the forms and functions of shame and self-criticism
- how to treat shame and self-criticism by developing self- and other-directed compassion
Key skills include the use of compassion-focused imagery, building the compassionate self, and using the sense of a compassionate self to engage with areas of personal difficulty. The workshop will be interactive, employing a range of methods.

He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, he has written, taught and researched extensively in the areas of mood disorders and shame. Paul is a former President of the BABCP.

Workshop details
CFT was originally developed with people with high shame and self-criticism. Clients can often come from difficult backgrounds where there are low levels of affiliation and affection. This is problematic because from infancy onwards, attachment and affiliative experiences play a major role in brain development and regulation of threat-based emotion.
Individuals from these backgrounds can find experiencing positive, affiliative emotions (accepting compassion and being self-compassionate) difficult. This workshop will equip practitioners with valuable therapeutic skills to improve their understanding of, and interventions when working with clients experiencing these difficulties.
