Topic: This module explores the use of compassion focused approaches to work with shame and self-attacking thoughts. First, we explore the theoretical background of compassionate mind as developed by Paul Gilbert. Then we move onto to look at how to formulate cases using this approach. Specific ways of working with self-criticism and shame based memories, through the development of compassion, are presented. Finally, the use and development of compassionate imagery, the perfect nurturer’ is presented.
Presenter: Deborah Lee is a founder member of the first Traumatic Stress Service in the UK. She currently runs the specialist Trauma Service in Reading.
