Compassion Focused Therapy FAQ

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a form of therapy that aims to help people understand and manage their emotions, particularly their feelings of compassion and empathy. CFT focuses on the idea that having strong compassion and empathy for oneself and others can be beneficial, both mentally and emotionally. CFT seeks to help people learn how to access and express their compassion in a healthy way.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is used to help people who have difficulty regulating their emotions, have low self-esteem, or are struggling with anxiety or depression. CFT is based on the idea that our emotions are regulated by three main systems in the brain: the behavioural, emotional, and cognitive systems. The goal of CFT is to help people regulate their emotions by teaching them how to work with all three systems. CFT has been shown to be effective in treating anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. It has also been shown to help people with chronic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CFT is a relatively new therapy, but it is growing in popularity and is being used by more and more therapists around the world.
