Compassion-focussed therapy approaches to shame and self-criticism in children and young people
Presentation
Talk Description
This workshop will explore an evolutionary based model of self-criticism. Key is to distinguish criticism that is encouraging and rooted in self-correction versus criticism that's rooted in fear frustration and is harsh linked to anger and at times even hatred of the self. We will explore how to conductor a functional analysis of self-criticism, its link to shame and fear of rejection and consider how to generate compassion brain states to deal with the fear and traumas that sit behind harsh self-criticism.
