Compassion is at the heart of healing, but how can we integrate compassion-based practices in a way that is ethical, effective, and sustainable? This training explores the profound impact of compassion in psychotherapy, offering practical techniques drawn from mindfulness, self-compassion research, and therapeutic models such as Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). We will examine the ethical considerations of using compassion-based interventions, including scope of practice, cultural sensitivity, and the importance of therapist self-care. Through experiential exercises, case discussions, and guided practice, you will gain the confidence to ethically incorporate compassion-based techniques to enhance client resilience, reduce shame, and foster deeper healing.
OBJECTIVES:

Develop an understanding of the theoretical foundations and therapeutic benefits of compassion-based practices.
Learn ethical considerations, including cultural humility, boundaries, and scope of practice, when integrating compassion-based interventions.
Identify client presentations and psychological concerns where compassion-based approaches can be particularly effective.
Practice facilitating compassion-based exercises to support clients in reducing self-criticism, fostering emotional resilience, and deepening self-acceptance.
