Compassion Focused Therapy & Parts - Dr Kate Lucre, PhD

Video Description

There are a group of people who have experienced significant attachment ruptures and are often diagnosed with a personality disorder. As a consequence, these people generally experience significant difficulties feeling connected to and a sense of safeness with others. Fragmentation and disconnection in their experience of themselves are also commonplace. This talk will take you on a journey through the 5 phases of Compassion-Focused Group Psychotherapy with a focus on the ways in which this program supports members to work with, bring compassion and integration to their multiple parts. Practical ideas for supporting a compassion focused approach to working with parts will conclude this talk. --- Dr. Kate Lucre is a Birmingham based Compassion Focused Therapist and Supervisor specialising in the use of CFT for complex attachment and relational trauma for groups and individuals.
