Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is a psychological intervention that helps individuals develop compassion for themselves and others. It integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with concepts of mindfulness and self-compassion to promote emotional healing and mental well-being.
CFT offers benefits like reduced self-criticism, increased self-compassion, improved emotional resilience, and a greater sense of inner peace. Clients often report feeling more balanced, understanding, and compassionate towards themselves and others.
The main goal of CFT is to help individuals cultivate a sense of self-compassion and reduce self-criticism. By developing compassion, clients can improve their emotional resilience, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance their overall mental health.
CFT uses techniques such as mindfulness exercises, compassionate imagery, and self-reflective practices to help clients build self-compassion. Therapists guide clients in recognizing and transforming their self-critical thoughts into compassionate, supportive ones.
