Compassion Focused Recovery

 

Who is this program for?

CFR is suitable for adults experiencing a broad range of mental health concerns or past addiction that are wanting to Develop an understanding regarding the relationship between compassion and mental health, mindfulness skills, self-kindness and compassion and enhance insight into past and present experiences with opportunities for growth and change.

 

How will it help me?

CFR integrates compassion focussed methods from Dr Kristin Neff’s Mindful Self Compassion program and Dr Paul Gilbert’s Compassion Focussed Therapy and draws upon traditional Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Buddhist Psychology and Neuroscience.   

CFR blends psychoeducation with a skills based approach, designed to enhance the ability to apply self-compassion to both self and others and subsequently challenge unhelpful thought and behavioural patterns and regulate emotions effectively. The experience of trauma increases vulnerability to mental health concerns and maladaptive behaviours.  Through the persistent experience of an invalidating environment, individuals adopt or internalise negative appraisal and develop maladaptive coping strategies, thereby creating the inner critic and intense shame (alongside a host of difficult emotions), which in turn perpetuate the symptoms of psychopathology.

 

When does it run?

This program runs on one day per week from 5:30pm-8:45pm for 10 weeks duration.
